Today "Last one out" graduated, the last remaining member of the "Looks like originals group" and the last member of Cyclone 8's Little Graces class.  Was able to get some good video clips this time around. In the last photo of him below, he's towards the center in a dark area surrounded by leaves. Will likely have to click on the image to see it full-size to tell. Was happy he made it to graduation, but sad to see the fella leave.  It's both the end (of a stage) and also the beginning (of a stage) in his life.  He's been returned to the wild from where he came (although to a safer spot in the wild, away from the road.) I hope and pray he lives a long, full life.  The grey fur resident was also around and of course had to be kept distracted.

While this concludes the 2024 Tadpole Season, it won't be the final post. I still need to do that post of my thoughts about sudden froglet death syndrome and my mitigation strategy.  I believe that the 2024 Tadpole season has been the largest season yet, especially due to having two classes.  Sadly I didn't have any Narrowmouths make it to graduation, but will try again whenever the next season has come around. I was hoping to get a few tree frog tadpoles this season, I suppose it wasn't in the cards.  I guess I shouldn't dwell too much on the sads and instead focus on the ones I was able to give a chance to, as none of them would have otherwise have had any chance due to the pond drying up.
