It's freezing in SC!


Not much to report lately since it is ridiculously cold for here.  We've gone from unseasonably warm to unseasonably cold very quickly.   Supposed to be 19 degrees F (-7 C) tonight.  Not exactly the best weather for amphibians to be moving around.  The really unusual part for here is that the low is going to be below freezing the rest of the week.  I suspect we'll continue to get a lot of invertebrates in the buckets and the occasional bullfrog juvenile trying to make its way across the landscape. Just for fun here is a cool photo where the color of the bucket causes interesting effects.  It's is a bucket full of leopard frogs from the H-02 wetlands. The photo was taken by David Scott--the person who is really in charge of running and managing the Rainbow Bay study.
