Wettest October Ever Recorded 2010

15 October, Middle of the month and the rain continues to fall. This is a rare opportunity for frogs to successfully reproduce in many different areas. Many species, ranging in size from the big green tree frogs down to the froglets, lay their eggs in temporary pools away from predatory fish. These have hatched and the tadpoles are feeding on algae. Continuing rains means everything to their future because the tadpoles have a chance of growing to maturity before warm weather evaporates their pools and herons and egrets feast on them.
