Wow........sounds like lots of wild things going on there, Alan! I have just recently started seeing some pileateds. I would love to see them more. But I should be careful what I wish for......they love making huge holes in living trees too. While I was cleaning out my 300 gallon stock tank pond recently, I found 8 dead, rather large frogs. I did see a live one more recently, and a toad. The other day I did start to hear the tree frogs. Are those the kind you have in your pool? I remember when I was younger and went to camp, we'd go swimming in a pool in the woods and there would be hundreds of tiny frogs in the pool.
Yeah.....keep a good eye on your little doggie. I hope those hawks leave the pileateds alone too.
Happy Springing!
