These may look like watermelon seeds, but they're not-
They are actually the newly-hatched tadpoles of the Cope's Grey Tree Frog (
Hyla chrysoscelis). They are only a few days old! Here is a slightly closer-up (they're so tiny, about 1/4" plus a small tail) :
The Cope's Grey Tree Frog can be positively identified only by it's call. And that we have done (every night, several nights in a row, crazy,
)
Oops (edit)- The Cope's Grey Tree Frog:
Plus, we went to the beach today and procured our very first NATIVE fishies!
OK, so I didn't get a pic of the native fish (my kids provided better fodder for pics). But the fish are very tiny. About an inch long, very "long" looking, pronounced lateral line, one pointed fin on top, two on bottom, plus one anal fin (triangular also) and a deeply forked tail. Mouth pointed above. Yellow Shiner? Some kind of minnow. Who knows... we shall find out eventually, if they are not eaten by the monster goldfish. We caught 6 of them.
I was hoping for Bluegills, but they were too smart for the net today.
