Not only is today the first day of spring, but it' Not only is today the first day of spring, but it's also #WorldFrogDay!! 🐸

Of the 5,000+ frog species that exist on the planet today, North Carolina is home to about 31 species, and the Eno supports many of these! Frogs are important for a variety of reasons -- first, they are key in predator-prey dynamics. Frogs eat tons of insects, including pesky mosquitoes, and they serve as food for birds, snakes, fish, and other wildlife. Frogs also act as bioindicators, which are organisms that can tell you something about the health of a particular ecosystem. Finally, frogs are COOL! They are fascinating components of our natural world and deserve to be celebrated! 

Many frog species are already out and about on the Eno, so be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for our froggy friends! Swipe through the photos to see some species you might encounter.

March is the perfect time to visit the historical March is the perfect time to visit the historical Anthony Cole House on the moderate 1.5 mile Buckquarter Creek Trail! While the Cole House is one of the most prominent features on this loop trail, there’s also numerous species of native fish, flora, fauna, birds, and the remnants of an old tobacco barn. If you’re looking for a beautiful spring hike filled with rich, Durham history, this is the perfect spot for you.

Although it might look like a dragonfly, this litt Although it might look like a dragonfly, this little critter is actually a damselfly! One easy way to tell the difference between these two insects is by observing their wings when they're perched. When dragonflies land, their wings rest perpendicular to their body, but damselflies have neopterous wings, which means they rest alongside their body or tucked in. Damselflies are carnivorous and enjoy snacking on flying insects, just like their larger counterparts. They can be found in an array of colors like turquoise, blue, green, purple, brown, and gold. Damselflies lay their eggs in aquatic plants, making the Eno River one of their favorite spots to call home. If you're a fan of these cool critters and want to show your support, check out our Creek Critters collection available at the Eno store! Just go to https://shop.enofest.org/collections/critter-collection
