Frogs?
The RG had mentioned
seeing three frogs in the garden pond
So one morning I headed out
with my camera for a count.
#1 - a usual place to spy one
#2 - sunning on a lily pad
#3 - cooling below the surface (eyes in the center of the photo)
But wait - there was one more.
#4 out of hiding in the rocks (suddenly gave a panicked yelp and leaped into the water.
The Reason for the panic
New knowledge to me
Chipmunks eat frogs.
Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet primarily consisting of seeds, nuts and other fruits, and buds. They also commonly eat grass, shoots, and many other forms of plant matter, as well as fungi, insects and other arthropods, small frogs, worms, and bird eggs.

ReplyDeleteI never knew Chipmunks ate frogs or bird eggs! The ones around my cottage seem to be most interested in the peanuts I put out for them.
