Last Winter the favorite spot for birds to bathe was the frog pond. Here is a Song Sparrow taking a bath today. It is 54 degrees, but they don't care.

This year birds are clogging up the new one. They really like it, often there are a dozen at a time in it.

A close up of the first photo shows that even on a cold day, danger is present, note the Bullfrog. Like the bird, you may have missed him in the first photo.

I have seen the frogs jump at birds, so far without success. You might believe a frog is not big enough to eat a bird, you might be wrong. Here he is crawling out.

He is very fat, and definitely eating something to get that way.

I have to admit; I was looking ALL around the perimeter for the frog; didnt' think to look IN THE WATER~
....if he's out in 53 degree weather, he must have turned warm-blooded by virtue of his size alone....
I recently dropped by Bill's for a visit. He was showing me his wildlife sanctuary and actually let me sit in his famous "catbird seat".
While I was sitting there Bill exclaimed " Look there is one of my frogs coming out of the water". He handed me a pair of binoculars and told me where to look.
I could see no frog.
Bill was all excited about the frog being out on a moderately chilly day and couldn't understand why I couldn't see the frog.
I'm busy scanning the pond thinking to myself "what frog?".
Then Bill makes the comment " Damn it! He's trying to catch the chickadees that are coming in for water".
My brain clicks * frog that eats birds = big ass frog *.
I put the binoculars back on what my mind automatically passed over as a pond ornament.
It moved!
I had passed over it several times, because without stopping to think my mind classified this giant frog as being too big to be a live creature.
I know how Bill feels.
I quit trying to tell anyone about the size of this frog. All I got for trying to share, were snickers or questions about the amount of Bill's brew I had consumed before I saw this giant frog.
AO please put something in the next photos for scale !
