Does anyone know whether they breed verey successfully in slow-moving streams with a fair amount of shoreline vegetations? I know of a small stream where the swollen mouth moves slowly into Lake Michigan, and some kids I know found several tads there. I assume they are Fowler's, because almost nothing else that looks like that would breed there. The water stays pretty cold pretty much all year round. I suppose the cold water might delay breeding relative to a still pond in the dunes???? What do you think? And the cold would delay maturing??? because these kids found tads with hind legs I think in early August.
