John=2C Are your frog eggs in fist-sized clumps of jelly?  If so=2C very pr=
obably belong to wood frogs=2C or possibly leopard frogs (less likely becau=
se a bit later in expectations=2C and nobody has reported their snore-like =
calls yet=2C vs. the chuckling calls of wood frogs -- and spring peeper egg=
s are generally not visible since they are laid singly or in tiny groups of=
 a few eggs.=20
As for tadpoles=2C any overwintered ones (of green or mink or bull frogs) w=
ould be quite large=2C and any tiny blackish tadpoles should be this year's=
 hatchlings (prob. wood frogs this early=2C but perhaps peepers or leopard =
frogs or even early toad tadpoles?
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
