New Mexico Spadefoot Tadpoles
It has been raining for the past week and the New Mexico Spadefoot Toads are out again like I saw two years ago (see the end of this blog post).
On June 28th I saw a lots of tadpoles swimming in a temporary pool behind Quelab.
I first checked the standing water further down the rail tracks, two blocks west, where I found the tadpoles two years ago in 2020. This pond was teaming with Triops, but no tadpoles this year.
Triops swimming over toad eggs?
And WHAT is this?
