I Just Punched A Frog

So, I'm sitting on the sofa, minding my own business, paging through Home magazine when I head a flock of little sparrows gathered around my pond. This time of year, they flock to the taller grasses that seed and feast like crazy!

So I get up and walk to the window slowly (so not to scare them off) and smile as I watch the adorable little things feeding and playing. All of a sudden, one of the frogs leaps out of the water and grabs one of the sparrows by it's rear end and drags it into the water!!!!

So the little thing is SCREAMING and the flock of little birds are going NUTS flying around. I go running out the door, waving my arms in the air and screaming at the frog, hoping it will be afraid of me and let the little bird go.....but NOPE!! So I get to the edge of the water, fall to my knees and do what came to me......I punched the frog in the head!

He let the bird go and disappeared under water. So the little bird is flapping it's wings and scooting on top of the water and screaching and I'm running around trying to reach the thing before the frog comes back. It heads toward the waterfall and ANOTHER frog jumps out of the bushes and goes after the bird!

Errrrrrrrr, damn frogs! So I grab the fishing net, swat at the other frog and scoop the little bird up into the net. I took it out front (for fear ALL of the frogs would form a group and gang attack me) I wrapped it in a towel and got it upright....the poor little thing was spewing water out it nose and beek! It finally perked up and flew down into one of my front gardens.

I swear....these frogs....as much as I enjoy looking at them and hearing them.....they are asking for it!

I'm trying to picture this in my head

Sounds like frog leg appetizers tonight! Those and a bottle of white wine will start the weekend off just nicely! LOL

I never knew a frog would catch a bird!!!!

OMG! I didn't know a frog would grab a bird!!! Your frog pond must have been built over some kind of nuclear waste or something! They are crazy little mutants !

Well, ya know...I didn't either until one of them tried to eat one of my fish (that was it's own size!) I started to do some bullfrog research on how to catch them and found out they not only eat insects, but birds, small mammals and fish! I saw one of them go after a bird before, but I never dreamed a frog would actually catch one!

lol
