--Apple-Mail-21--183328157 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed John, Are your frog eggs in fist-sized clumps of jelly? If so, very probably belong to wood frogs, or possibly leopard frogs (less likely because a bit later in expectations, and nobody has reported their snore-like calls yet, vs. the chuckling calls of wood frogs -- and spring peeper eggs are generally not visible since they are laid singly or in tiny groups of a few eggs. As for tadpoles, any overwintered ones (of green or mink or bull frogs) would be quite large, and any tiny blackish tadpoles should be this year's hatchlings (prob. wood frogs this early, but perhaps peepers or leopard frogs or even early toad tadpoles? Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
