Yumi and I dropped by Foreshore Park tonight to take another look at the salmon eco-sculptures and Stream of Dreams fish mural at the confluence of Byrne Creek and the Fraser River.
We also checked out the pond near the eco-sculptures and we saw many huge tadpoles. They were 3+ inches long with heads the size of elongated toonies. We also saw just the eyes of one frog staring at us from the muck, and the distance between the eyes looked bigger than any native BC frog. I think we may be developing a bullfrog problem down there... And it's just a hop, skip and jump from the pond to the creek...
Bullfrogs are not native to B.C. and are voracious predators of native animal species. Here are a couple of good sites for info:
