Reptiles this year are 2 garters and a ringneck. The vernal pools have countless newts, wood frogs, greens, peepers and spotted salamanders. I noticed eggs attached to a branch that looks like translucent cotton, but I dont know what it is.
While looking at a mass of eggs this afternoon, I noticed tadpoles on one side. I dont know if they were just emerging, but they were all grouped together. They were very small, and completely black. Does anyone know what species would hatch so soon?
