MISSOURI CHORUS FROGS

Today's post is dedicated to the 

tenacious, consistent fervor of

the Missouri Chorus Frogs!

As some of you know, we

have a Koi pond with 13

goldfish and 4 Koi:

It has a small water feature which

helps create interest and brings

oxygen to the pond plus a

filter system that the water

circulates through to keep it clean.

Unfortunately the frogs down in the creek at

the woods hear it and like it and come!

Recently, the Chorus Frogs have sounded

more like "Screaming Frogs" and I just

couldn't take it anymore.  So.....I caught them

each day in a net and took them down to

the creek and let them loose - way back there

in the creek where water stands:

However, after a day or so they
hop back up the sloping yard and

 hop right back into the pond.

So I asked a few "others" for advice:

I asked Mr. Josiah too:

One particular frog always shows back up -

 I think I have thrown him in the creek

 repeatedly!  He hides in these rocks

 when I open the patio door to

 come out to 

try and catch him!

I blew this picture up so you could look

 carefully at this photo to see his face:

You would not believe how loud he screams -

that is "sings" all night long!!!!

Well....the party is over as I went to Walmart

yesterday and bought a lidded bucket.  It isn't

just any bucket - it is an Emergency Evacuation

Bucket - to evacuate FROGS of course!

From now on - all frogs get taken

 down the road to Gillespie Creek. 

 I wish them a happy life

 making "music" there calling

for girlfriends!
