Stiped Marsh Frog

Description:

small brown frog with black stripe markings on its back and a tok..tok..tok... call. Its eggs look like whipped egg whites with little black chia seeds inside the bubbles.

Habitat:

The pond we built in our yard

Notes:

It took about 12 months for the frogs to arrive after we built the pond. Now we have heaps of tadpoles and the frogs are especially active after the rain with a wonderful chorus of tok tok toks ..so peaceful in that way only nature sounds seem to manage. I am writing and illustrating a family picture book to show other families how they can build a self sustaining frog pond habitat in their own urban setting.
