WOW, we thought the water was high last Fall!! Here's the frog pond on April 14, 2008. After a record snow fall (> 100 in) and several inches of rain in the previous week
the water had completly filled the basin where the pond typically only occupied a quarter of the area. The large lake and the pond were connected with water that was a foot
deep. In the following weeks we hope to make lots of observations; including amphibians
(chrous frog, leopard frog, the green tree frog, the american toad,tiger salamanders and painted turtles), water quality measruments (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, secci distance, nitrate)
and migratory birds.
