A side effect to our garden pond has been frogs. They croak loudly when we drain our tub, and the sound is so unique, sounds similar to geese honking... yesterday, my son found a small green frog and a salamandar inside a small ice chest that had been left outside, and contained a small amount of water and was hosting mosquito tadpoles. Apparently, the tree frog and salamandar were feeding on them. We photographed and released them back to the pond area. We are surrounded by creatures and feel blessed that we have not destroyed them with any chemicals.

It seems like a lot of people don't realize that many frogs species are becoming extinct or deformed. I hope this program helps to raise awareness so that they can be saved and many future generations will get to see these amazing creatures. Thank you for this program.
