This afternoon, I set out to feed and trim my flowers . . .
And look who I found living in my garden!
He’s an awfully big frog in a teeny, tiny pond.
I can’t figure out how he got here. We’re quite a ways from the lake and it’s all uphill.
Then again, he has everything he needs in my garden. Some running water,
a nice rock to sun himself on . . .
This one is a male. I can tell, because his eardrums are larger than his eyes.
and plenty of food. I read that bullfrogs will eat almost anything! Insects, small mammals, frogs (even other bullfrogs!) crayfish, worms, baby birds, and minnows, to name a few.
I sure hope he sticks around for a little while.
I think Oscar’s kind of cute. Don’t you?
