A couple of years ago, a very large frog made its way from Wesley Lake into our small OG pond. We didn’t know until there was a noisy scuffle in the backyard: The frog was fighting with a bird, and the frog won. The bird was pronounced dead.
I scooped it up with a net and escorted it back to the Lake. Haven’t seen it since.
In fact, Fletcher Lake has at times harbored monsters.

“We recently spent five days vacationing here. During that time, we witnessed the apparent attack and drowning of a duck by a snapping turtle.”–OGT 11 Jul. 1991.

Ocean Grove: a really cute small town at the Jersey Shore.
