This Frog of the Day list (March 2010) is the only one that starts with the earliest picture at the top. All the other months go in reverse order, with the latest picture at the top.
March Pond
The March pond usually starts with ice that is melting around the edges. By the end of the month it is clear, and the duckweed is just barely beginning to grow in little bits here and there. This picture is March 19. The spring peepers started peeping that night.

When shot from above, and the water is very clear, you can't see the water line. Just the face is above the water.
