Small Critters in Large Pond

Here's a couple of the small critters that call the large pond home. There were at least six small frogs about this size. I was surprised we didn't find any larger frogs as we see them around all the time. They must have heard the pond was scheduled for a major cleaning and located somewhere else for the duration. Some of the cutest critters were the 9 Red Spotted Newts that we found. They were all about the same size as the tiny guy in the picture. They seemed happy to get back into the pond after the cleaning.
