wood frog eggs – update #2
Latest update on the frog eggs as of the afternoon of April 19, 2006. The weather was sunny and quite warm. The temperature was approximately 70F (about 22C) by mid-afternoon. The tadpoles were starting to become recognizable as such — little heads with the smallest of tail sections. The egg mass has become a bit fluffy looking. It sometimes seems to get that way and I think that may have to do with the hot weather. I’ll try to post at least one more follow-up before the tadpoles wander off away from the egg mass.
