This year's first little curlicues of American toad eggs. Always a welcome sight. This is why I build the puddles every year.
@StanWillenbring How do you “build a puddle” and keep the water balance in the weeks before the toads hatch?
@StanWillenbring This is the sweetest post and I love that you do this. Humans mostly having failed to come together to make change collectively, it is our best option now, I agree: trying to care for our own corners of the world.
@StanWillenbring We need more people with this type of awareness and doing things like this. Thanks Stan.
@StanWillenbring We dug a 7'x10' pond several years ago. I keep hoping the Am toad will return. It's been 20 yrs of destruction or barriers around us. What size puddles do you create? Maybe I could figure a way...
