Gray Treefrog Species Complex (Complex Hyla versicolor)Observer
bigk2001Description
Amazingly small vernal pools ( two different) one containing tadpoles the other almost full grown frogs (2) with just their tadpole tales still on. I worry about this area at spring mill pond as they are doing work to take out gravel and are always running over ruining something. There are a lot of interesting plants and animals on this man made dune swale like area
