The remainder of the outline s shallow, draining 2 small creeks, so small that for long periods they are dry. So, the overall shape is a "Y", the dam being the base the "Y" stands on.<BR/>It was here for years before we'd taken over the property--but we've had the dam rebuilt to catch more runoff.<BR/>The vernal pools are within our acreage, but don't connect in any way. (probably 100yds away?)<BR/><BR/>Curiosity encouraged!nina at Nature Remains.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07888238636692649668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-4935281043026557432008-04-22T10:04:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:04:00.000-04:00Wonderful post and great pictures.

Was it already there when you took over guardianship of the land? How far from the pond is your vernal pool?<BR/><BR/>Just curious.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-18743799416100988242008-04-22T09:27:00.000-04:002008-04-22T09:27:00.000-04:00That's a great picture of the toads mating.
