Makes wood frogs sound likely.
I have seen lots of toad egg strings over the years. We live in hope for
2012~

Thanks, John. Green frogs lay their eggs in flat surface films in
mid-summer, much much later than now, and they won't start calling (glunk,
glunk, like banjo string plucked). Bull frogs with their "jug-a-rum" calls
are even later and they lay their eggs in flat rafts like those of green
frogs. Eggs of American toads (our only toads) are laid in long
intertwining strings of eggs in jelly. Both toads and wood frogs and
yellow-spotted salamanders aggregate their egg masses in the same parts of
ponds or ditches as their other same-species compatriots. Cheers from Jim
in Wolfville.

Hmm.. fist-sized or smaller. Green frogs are quite common in the pond.
Woods? Possible. They are here, but we don't see them often. Lots of
peepers, and have yet to see any young-of-year tadpoles. Also have yet to
hear Mr. Toad trilling!

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.

Our pond on the Wyman road, near Yarmouth, has had frog eggs visible for
about a week, and the overwintered tadpoles are out.

Wood frogs - huge gathering of cluckers in my fen Saturday night. Peepers
just gearing up as well - same area. Saw one tiny black tadpole in my pond -
not sure what. No eggs in there yet so must have been something that over
wintered.
Angevine Lake, Cumberland county
