First! Start! Welcome!...that kind of thing

Long story short: I have a koi pond in my backyard. Every year, toads come and lay eggs in it. Because my koi love to eat the eggs, and any surviving tadpoles, this being the fourth year I take the eggs inside and raise them to frogs in a dog pool then release them. I decided to keep a good record this year because the first year I counted was last year, and I released 766 baby toads that year. This seemed like an easy and fun way to keep said record. I really enjoy doing this because I love watching them grow. I enjoy learning all the things I do by doing this. It is really all around fun, and a smart thing to do. Amphibian populations everywhere are dwindling rapidly due to global warming...loss of habitat...deforesting...etc. And I identified the toad (though the name slips my mind) and they are native, so I am not letting a species take over. Sometimes I release some down by the Arkansas River where I know some live so I don't mess up the local food chain.
