Frog in or out

I have a 60gal kidney shaped pond.
I clean, put the green frisbee pond heater in, take the pump out and
cover it with half inch square plastic screen griding.

Last year the frog stayed under a rock under the water all winter. This
year will he be alright?
Yesterday, I did the winter close up. The frog was not in the pond when
I started, but when I picked up a flat rock by the rim he was under, he
jumped in and is floating with his eyes and molth near the top, happy as
could be.
Do frogs usually stay under water or on land?
I'ts not a big bull frog, but smaller.

Patience is a virtue.
Froggie will be fine, he'll look after himself.

Yup, I agree with froggie info.

This newsgroup has been under siege for almost 2 years, thus the ponding
posts are few and far between, thus we regulars have become more irregular.
I use to check in constantly thru-out the day. Now more like once every
other day or 3. Many old RPers lurk, but they rarely post due to the trolls
now days. Those of us sticking with it have our kill-filters loaded with
them. :-( ~ jan

I'm afraid they scattered to various moderated groups which are too
numerous to name now days. Groups have become more specialized, some are
high-end koi-only ponding, water chemistry heavy forums to AS type ponds to
more general mix. We can slowly rebuild RP, but it remains to be seen if it
can be done as long as a couple people own computers and have nothing
better to do than cross-post their non-topic posts here and every where.

=======================
The frogs in our ponds stay in the pond all winter. They remain in the
small amount of plant and leaf litter on the bottom. Most survive.
Occasionally one will not make the winter and I net it out in spring. I'm in
