Frogs are interesting creatures! Their resounding calls in the spring remind us that summer is just around the corner. But did you know, they can also tell us a lot about the health of our lake?
Frogs are an indicator species, as they are vulnerable to changes in the atmosphere, land or water. As they continue to disappear, they show how our activities interfere with not just their health and survival, but with the overall health of important eco-systems, such as Lake Vernon. If you have a comment about our lake, some tips about how to improve our community, or would just like to post a great picture, please contact us.

While not the perfect solution, a good solution for now until we work out some details. I think frogs are good indicators as well. Also good bait.

A few ornithological firsts of the season here on Lake Vernon - a Great Blue Heron yesterday taking off from the shore and a hummingbird outside our kitchen window this afternoon!
