I happened upon this bullfrog with a polliwog too large to make a quick meal of it. Never did see the adult tadpole tail disappear. After an hour the frog moved on to other parts.
Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the visit!
Saw this pied-billed grebe with what I thought was a fish, but later saw that it is a bullfrog tadpole/polliwog. The grebe eventually downed it.
The heron got it's prize.
Polliwog and tadpole are different words for the same thing. Both words refer to the larval stage of both frogs and toads. Although experts can differentiate many tadpoles by species, all have gills, eyes, a tiny mouth, and a fin-like tail. The metamorphosis from this larval form swimming in a watery environment to adult amphibian with legs and lungs adapted to life out of water is a journey fraught with danger. Among the hazards are numerous predators of various types, and uncertain environmental conditions. Few tadpoles will survive to become adult frogs or toads.

Thank you for looking!
I've seen polliwogs and I've seen them turn into frogs with tails which they lose. I've never seen a full grown frog with such a long thick tail! Weird.

Along the banks of my pond, if I don't mow it some interesting things happen. Flowers bloom! The white ones are wild Asters and the yellow of course are buttercups. right up near the piling of the dock, the closest one, that is where you find one of the water snakes. Underneath the dock in the shade is where the young Bluegill fish stay and at the end of the dock, on top of the submerged pump is where many polliwogs rest. And that bench? That is where I rest! LOL One time I was sitting there and a Blue Heron flew right over my head, just a few feet up and landed on the far side of the pond. :) If I walk along the edge of the pond, frogs jump off the banks and into the water. Almost like synchronized ballet. Plop plop plop and sometimes they squeak! LOL If you know where to look and you are super quiet, you will see one of the Eastern Painted Turtles. I wish you all a wonderful day and I will catch up with everyone tonight I hope. Have the Grandbaby all day today! :D

Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the visit!
Two days at Viera Wetlands which was a lot of fun and the birds were more plentiful than my last visit.The click ponds were excellent and this polliwog met his demise just after sunrise.
Thanks for stopping by.
It's like this snowy egret was thinking: "How am I suppose to fish if there is plenty of fish, but no shallow for me stand in? Should I be like a skimmer? A tern?" :-) I've never seen anything like this at our little pond in the middle of the city... @ Manhattan Beach' s Polliwog Park
Took a vacation from my summer in Little Lamplight to go hang out with my twin at our Auntie's flat in Edinburgh. What we'd planned to do was quickly thwarted by a storm, so we decided to stay in, gossip, and pig out on junk food.

It's definitely very rare and I definitely got lucky that day to witness this little snowy egret perform all kind of fishing tricks in the Polliwog Park... fairly successfully :-) @ Manhattan Beach's polliwog Park
The pond is struggling to come back to life. The days are warmer now and so each day the ice retreats a bit. But then night comes with it's cold temperatures and back comes a thin layer of ice. Yesterday I spotted little polliwogs moving about along the edges, which I thought was pretty cool.

EDIT : THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE REBOOTED A PHOTO. HOWEVER THIS PHOTO HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROJECT AND HAS NOW REACHED 200 COMMENTS, MANY OF WHICH YOU HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO. SO I THOUGHT I'D LEAVE IT AT THE TOP OF THE PILE AS I AM AWAY FOR ONE WEEK AS OF TUESDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER. SO ENJOY THE UPDATED WORDING AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PILFERED FROM YOUR ASSORTED PHOTO STREAMS AND COMMENTS!
Many of you who hang around the back of flickr's bike sheds love language as much as I do. However, I've never been too keen on the so-called correctness of commas etc because today's correctness may have been yesterday's or tomorrow's four-out-of-ten....try harder. The English language is an evolving organism, always changing, pulsating, upsetting, but always allowing for creativity and always interesting to read, to hear.
Your evidence from flickr is that playing with words and tinkering with phrases is fun. You rebirth old words; build new words and phraseology and often nail an unexpected juxtaposition of letters that says it all.
An idea has been smouldering for some time now around "word of the day" Its time to bring it out of incubation and award it the status of its very own 'set' so allow ease of access for months to come. Your wording and phrasing efforts will be scavenged forthwith. Below are some recent highlights. More will be added as time tick-tocks by. Some below are explained in the comments boxes. Some are self-explanatory. Some just look and sound right, so in they went!!
