    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Eggs Found in Yard—What do I Do?

Earlier today, my family and I discovered a small cluster of eggs in the middle of the lawn. We live in Washington, so the ground is usually moist, and we’ve had a lot of rain the past few days, but the clump of eggs is nowhere near a pond. They’re just in the middle of the yard, under a pile of leaves. We can’t tell if they’re frog eggs or salamander eggs, and we don’t know if we should just leave them there or relocate them to a pond. What should we do?:hair_on_fire:
 
Personally, I would put up a marker in the yard so that you don't disturb that area on accident, then I would leave the eggs alone. Whatever left them there probably knew what they were doing in selecting that particular location.
 
Please attach a photo so that one of the amphibian enthusiasts might be able to help you with identification.

What Robert said is prudent. Cover them back up for now and leave them there. Get a photo.

I am also curious if they might be gastropod eggs.
