Freedom!

 

We let the frogs go.  One died yesterday and I feared they weren't eating enough things that frogs should eat...bugs, flies, etc..

So Gabby and I decided to set them free today.  We spotted a nice marshy like area in the pond that looked like a safe place.  The water level in the pond has been very low so it made for a nice sandy beach like area where we could stand and let them go.

As we got out there it looked like the sand and grass were moving...a closer look showed us there were MILLIONS of little frogs just like ours!  Who knew we would pick such a great spot.  We also noticed some baby um...bird things.  Not sure what they are called, I will look them up.  I took a few pictures...they practically ran right up to me when I got to the waters edge and started talking away...I think they thought I had bread crumbs. You can see a lot of muddy areas that the ducks and birds are walking on, that is normally all under water.

Last time in critter cage.

Baby birds...

Gabby getting the last one out...

 

Set them down in the sand and waited for them to hop out.

Go already!  Hop! Jump! Be free! Scram!

New home...

You can't really see much in this footage but if you look closely when I pan to the water you can see something very small jump into the water...it's one of ours!

More of the baby birds.

    Another adventure in Florida. Very cool. Hope they make it to adulthood. Those birds were hungry too. Great pics and video.

    Love the pics, frogs are my fav.   But thinking about those 'baby bird things"?    Betting baby frogs are on their diet.   : )~
