It's mating season 4...

Just one more shot in this series to upload to this album. There have to be thousands of tadpoles now and I've been wondering what kind of birds around here will feed on them...

First shot here - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/my-2nd-365/2021-02-19

You can read about them here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphiopus_holbrookii

Those shovel feet flippers are so cool!

@kvphoto They are pretty cool. The "spade" is like a big finger nail in the back inside of the rear foot.

@ludwigsdiana All the shots are of different couples, Diana. All the eggs - thousands - are now tadpoles.

@ljmanning Laura, there were hundreds of them in this pond!

@koalagardens Thank you! I guess that's what you get when your yard becomes a pond. LOL!

@wakelys LOL! They were. I've got to get over there and get a shot of the tadpoles. There has to be thousands of them. More food for some birds I imagine.
