Spring is just around the corner (we hope) and that means frogs. 

Wildcat Woods is no exception Pacific tree frogs have taken up residence in our "frog pond" near Wildcat bridge.

The little orange fence is too keep the little green pond inhabitants, above right, and the eager

human folks apart. In the spirit of hands-on science we conducted an experiment. Well the color of finger nail polish have an effect on the behavior of the tadpoles when they hatch?

Wait and see!  

The boys conducted their own experiment, not as scientific but one that has been practiced by

untold generations of kids If it moves grab it!  As shown above above one small amphibian wasn't fast enough. Pleas note all the captures were done in a safe manner 1. wet your hands

before picking a frog up  2. Do not squeeze them   3. Quickly turn them loose where you found them
