frog sighting 12-9-15

 I was out fishing today, yeah I know a complete shocker.  As I was walking along the bank from one spot to another I came across a frog laying on a patch of muddy ground in the sun .I googled it to be sure, it was a pickerel frog .  It wasn't so much that I saw a frog in December but that I saw a frog at all . They are getting to be quite scarce these days even in summer .

 I can remember the days when the fall frog migration was a very dependable pattern for big fish. I can't remember the last time I even bothered with it.  Sad .

Sad it is.   I haven't seen a frog on Lake Ozark for a long LONG time.  

Damsel and Dragon flys are getting scarce also.  Nobody notices.

Less Docks, more Frog Habitat.    I might as well get the fight started.

Used to hear frogs and whiperwills at night. Now all I hear is loud music and fireworks.

Frogs are thick around the KC metro lakes. Also a ton of tree frogs at TR. Helps to have a lot of grass. We start seeing them earlier in spring than you would expect, and get them all over our FB fields in the fall.

A ton of tree frogs around my house, gets pretty noisy in the spring.  Very few, if any, around the shores of the local BV lakes.
