Notes
Several dead young frogs, looks like the water level got too low and they got too warm in their pool with no shade most of the day. There were also dead young frogs in other pools that do have shade and live frogs, so maybe there's another explanation.
Finding dead young frogs at this locale at this time of year seems to be an annual occurrence.
