An ongoing study of ours is watching our tadpole slowly growing and changing. On the last day in January we went to a local creek to catch tadpoles. Four years ago we caught five tadpoles at the same place, so we expected a similar haul this year. Strangely this time the creek looked dark and unhealthy and we only found one tiny tadpole. We've dubbed him "The Doctor" and he now resides in a bucket on our deck, feasting on lettuce leaves and mosquito larvae.
