Ed Kennell 40,689 #1 Posted May 1 This little creature has been on my window all day. I spritzed him with water and he moved a bit. Is he in distress? What to do for him? That's my fat finger for size reference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,107 #3 Posted May 1 He's probably OK. The window might be warming him. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We now have an added accidental 3rd frog pond. This here's a wicked big pile o' eggs. Either frogs or small salamanders. Most likely spring peeper frogs. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,516 #7 Posted May 1 Pretty cool little frogs. Usually green in NC from what I've seen and lots of them here. Haven't really heard them yet this year but they rule the sound waves in the summer evenings. It's pretty common that we get one on a kitchen window where light draws bugs at night. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep an eye out for what finds them...sometimes they slither. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have plenty of frogs and very few snakes. There are no poisonous snakes in Maine (anymore). We'd love to see more snakes here for better pest control.

We've been camping several times down there at Bear Brook State Park. Couple three years ago we were hauling all the stuff in to the remote site late Friday evening. I'd set down in my big Bear 🐻 chair for a rest. It was PITCH BLACK dark. I felt something land on my chest. It was one of these here cute little gray tree frogs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(sorry to derail) We have quite a few in NC and a lot of friendlies that are good for keeping the pests in check. They were fat and happy last year when the cicadas were blanketing us. They didn't put much of a dent that population but they sure did eat well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The times we've stayed there have all been at a remote camping site. 🏕 We primarily go to walk around and also put some miles on our mountain bikes.
