Notes

Found along a construction silt fence bisecting a woodlot from a wetland. Other anurans entered also.

Wood frogs have finished breeding at this pond, yet the female was still full of eggs. This is the 3rd female wood frog I have found along this silt fence that did not breed with the others. Many were able to make it through breaks in the fence, but it appears that some could not.
