[ValleyNature] Spring Beauty etc. + tadpoles at Blomidon Park

[James W. Wolford]

THANKS, NANCY! from Jim et al. -- I would guess the dark tadpoles are  
probably from wood frogs, but it would be nice to confirm that from  
either small collections later or, better yet, seeing the tiny  
froglets when they emerge from the pond and disperse into the woods.
