This is why we will never be without a pond in our lives! We usually spot this guy resting in the vegetation around our pond, but this weekend he (she?) decided to lounge around on the deck chairs. We were out cleaning filters, trimming plants and pulling weeds, and our supervisor here just took it all in!We're pretty sure this is a Northern Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora), as it matches all of the images and characteristics we were able to find in our research. For anyone studying the species, they seem to do quite well in a semi-rural backyard pond. We'll keep an eye out for tadpoles – let's hope the koi didn't eat all the eggs...
