We have a pond that we originally set up for koi, but that did not work out very well. The frogs have always like it, so it is theirs now.

The population goes through a couple of phases each year. First up are the wood frogs. They'll be in the pond before the ice is completely gone, make a racket for a couple of days, cover all the plants in eggs, and then they disappear back into the woods. The pond has enough algae to sustain the tadpoles, so we don't really have to do anything to keep them going.

After the wood frogs, American toads usually come do their thing, but they have not so far this year.

Things then settle down and green frogs and the occasional bullfrog come and go over the summer.

We also have peepers in the neighborhood, but for some reason they do not use the pond.
