March Madness Frog Style

Last year I learned about Frog Balls for the first time. A Frog Ball is created when more than one male frog tries to mate with one female. Last year the Frog Balls were in the pond, this year they connected a few feet from the pond. In the first photo, there are at least 5 frogs, the second there are 4. In the third photo, it looks like a Frog Ball is under construction with 3 frogs but a forth is about to join the madness. The frogs enjoyed 2 days of 80 degree weather, but then the high dropped to 50 degrees and we had 2 inches of rain. Since the weather cooled, the frogs have all disappeared again. Maybe tired from 2 nights of partying.
