Very true LH and Gnu you are so right, but I was gonna catch him and throw him in the big pound before the freeze .. Oh well ... crows gotta live to.

A few years ago one of the coyotes was in the back yard by the fence. I always let the wiener dogs out with Gus my 130 lb lab newfie like critter. His fur was up and showing his teeth .. He get really protective about the wiener dogs ... good thing, they would make a tasty treat to a coyote ...even with the fence they may find a way to eat one of them

Sorry to hear about the untimely loss of your frog, Dan.

This may cheer you up a bit:

Frog makes formal complaint.

It could've been worse. A bear or a coyote could've taken one of your Dachshunds! (this has been known to happen)

Dan... yer pond got a natural mud bottom? Didn't think so on accounta you said it was plastic. So, the crow did yer frog a favour on accounta frogs don't freeze too well near as I understand. Hoppin back to the nearest spot to winter mighta been pretty rough fer Kermit come cold weather. Better to get it over with quick like.

I mean, look at the bright side eh?

Naw Jim,
He was a gift from nature. Just showed up one day and decided this was his fountain. All summer he ate bugs ... till the crow ate him

I have a neighbor who has an ornamental fishpond in his backyard--landscapers call it a "water feature" nowadays. Well, a great blue heron came and ate all his goldfish!

Just be thankful you didn't pay good money for the frog. (You didn't, did you?)

There's a clip on 'Funniest Videos' where children are getting to know a white rat(?) when something takes it.
It happens so suddenly that I couldn't see if the rodent WAS a rat, and the predator was so fast it had to be a falcon. A blur is all you see.

A kingfisher (bird) took all 'my' little skinks last year. I'm building them a rockery this year.
(The (bird) because I think there's a mustelidae called a kingfisher.)

I can't figure out where he ever came from. The nearest pond is about a quarter mile up in the vineyard ... He leaped when he saw the crow but the thing got him mid air ...

I go luck with wildlife anymore, first my raccoon now my frog
