Indian Springs Pond
It's true, the Plattsmouth city pond has an actual name. ;)
I took a trip over there with my camera and a dip net, determined to win a few photos for the Amphibian Blitz.
I eventually succeeded in winning the main prize I came for--Blanchard's Cricket Frog.
I may have also snapped a photo of a juvenile bull frog, though I can't be certain. I saw MANY frogs...but generally only in passing, as they leaped past me into the water, often yelling an alarm call... >_>
I did spot a large bull frog on the bank, but there was no way to sneak close enough to get his photo. There may have been leopard frogs in this pond as well, but I never got close enough to identify them, if so.
I was also able to get some great photos of nesting red-winged blackbirds, and various other arthropod fauna, before the heat became too oppressive.
