The tadpoles have returned!

They're continuing to grow fast.  We may see a few enter the froglet stage within a day. The tadpoles have developed enough that I can see the Spadefoot pattern/colors, so it looks like all of the non-Narromouth tadpoles are in fact Eastern Spadefoot tadpoles.   I'm amazed that everyone is still alive and appears to be healthy.  Perhaps it's in part due to not me changing out the water regularly to keep things "clean" this time. That may have been doing more harm than good.

I decided to name the group in the smaller plastic jar with the white lid "The Three Musketeers" (yes I know I used the same name in an earlier class.)  In addition to the standard video clip, I've also included another cat clip below, as people seem to like those, based on views.  Today's standard video clip came out better than most, as I had an area of sun on the porch. I also shot a second clip with a different camera that didn't come out bad.
