This morning I was dipping out as many toad tadpoles as I could find. With each dip, I checked the net. Each time, among the many tadpoles, I found one or two round green things -small, but bigger than a fish egg. Can anyone tell me what they are? I put about four of them in the tub where I am keeping a few of the tadpoles, just in case they are eggs of some sort.

I'll try to get a picture, but have to learn how to post one first. I just joined the forum, so I'll read up on it

Skittles? Look around and see if you see any type of plant in the near area that is producing seeds of similar that birds may be dropping in. doesn't appear to be anything I've ever seen natural in a pond before.
They are eggs alright. They hatch in to this:

Suggestion, take one out and cut it in half with a razor blade, I'm thinking some kind of seed, but seriously, I don't think it is originally from the pond, just something that fell into the pond. I don't think anyone has seen that before and that's the reason for the weird answers.

well i like vertigoes answer best 
Thanks for the suggestion fishin4cars. I cut one open, but didn't learn much. It was solid green all the way through. I've looked at the plants in our yard - we have maybe 30 different types - and see no indication that it comes from one of them. Perhaps it is some kind of seed that has been blown in or dropped by birds. We also have a half dozen bird feeders, so that could be a good guess.

Was it firm when you cut it? if so i doubt is animal, probably plant. If it was soft and very slimy then I would go more toward animal, being green through and through I have to think it is some type of seed but really don't have a clue.
