This weekend I was following the dragonflies around the yard and landed at the duck pond.

A passel of Common Whitetail Dragonflies provided lots of entertainment.

And then I noticed all the floaters in the pond and looked a little closer.

Tadpoles. What have to be thousands and thousands have taken up residence in the pond.

There are so many that it’s a little creepy!

Since we were raided by the fox a month ago, the ducks have only had infrequent supervised time in the pond. I wonder if they’ve kept the tadpole population in check in the past.

I think the “duck pond” has now become the “frog pond!”
