Tadpole rescue 2012 drought.

We have had no rain for weeks and weeks, the creek has all but dried up, the frog ponds have dried up, the stench of dead fish and rotting tadpoles fills the air and the flies are swarming all over the stink.

This is supposed to be a flowing creek.



The frog ponds all look like this now..



The habitat that I built for the amphibians to reproduce was almost all dried up, as I was looking at it I noticed the muck was moving, and observed live tadpoles clinging to what little moisture was left.



Since this was the last remaining tadpoles on my entire property from this season I had to take some kind of action or they too were going to die.

So we set up the pump and drew from the only water I could find......
