Welcome to my backyard. This blog is about the wildlife that lives and travels through our yard in suburban Northern Virginia. The yard borders a park and has a small, man-made pond. Foxes have used the space under our deck as a den for their babies. Raccoons like to raid our compost bins, and green frogs produce tadpoles in our pond each spring. We also have deer, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, a shrew, a toad, a snake, a turtle, and even a bat.
The big frog is more relaxed now that he is camouflaged by the duck weed, which has taken over now that there is more sun after the trees were cleared away.
Here are two baby froglets. One is hanging out on the leaf, which shows you how small they are.
They go scooting along the surface of the water, but they wouldn't let me catch them on the tip of my finger.
