Sandhill cranes walking around also, no mammals perhaps the construction around hillsborough trail is scaring them off.
Dog and I must see three frogs a night on our after dark walk. I can't figure out why they are camping out on the street and in driveways as opposed to in the grass and landscaping.

I brake for frogs...I think the rain makes them want to brake dance.
I am making this up.

Smile Frogs and hot tubs

I also have a frog that loves my hot tub in the winter months. It sits right on the edge and one time was actually in the water. 103 degrees i thought i would be having frog legs for supper but it didn't miss a beat.

Dog likes to brake for them too! But I won't let him. They might be princes who moved here permanently and turned into frogs.
