#Polliwog April 8

In April 2025, many of us are joining the 30-Day Nature Observation Challenge. Each day, the goal is to share an observation—a plant, animal, or sound—experienced while spending time outdoors. Wise individuals have noted that observing nature enhances mindfulness, reduces stress, and deepens our appreciation for life’s interconnectedness—a challenge well worth accepting.
Today, my observation is on POLLIWOG.
As we embark on our 64th consecutive monthly challenge, Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I feel ready to inspire others to join us. Step outside and let nature awaken your senses—breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun, and listen as the world comes alive. Every moment outdoors is a chance to reset, recharge, and reconnect with the beauty around you.
Nature Observation 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. Commit to spending time outdoors for the next 30 days, observing a new plant, animal, or sound each day.
- Record your observations to track your journey.
- Share your findings with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge.
Observation #8-Polliwog
With the temperatures warming up the water in ditches and small ponds in the Carolinas you can start to see evidence of amphibian life. Most notably polliwogs or tadpoles. Just could not resist using polliwog to headline a blog post. For the record tadpoles and polliwog are two names for the same thing. They both identify the larval stage of a frog or toad.
Walking on the golf course in early April I saw evidence of them swimming around.
