Would these eggs be from this year?

I just noticed these today on the liner, just barely underwater. Today is the first really nice, warm, 60 degree day. So I'm wondering - would these be maybe frog eggs? and would they be current? it just seems so odd with it barely being warm. Not sure I've seen any like this before in the pond but I'm certain someone here will probably know.
Thanks.

my frog eggs are usually in a jelly like mass . I know when the frogs lay them I can just scoop out the jelly and eggs together . It is like a slimeball of eggs . So that you may need more clarity from someone on here that knows more about these . I usually pick up the whole mass in a bucket with some pond water in it and take it to farm ponds who want frogs to eat mosqiuto. s The farmers love it when I bring them frogs , tadpoles or frog eggs

If nobody figures this out then watch them and see what hatches and let us know. Those look like they were laid one by one and not in a big mass. No clue?

Have you tried to touch one . It looks like an eye with jelly around it . What have your temperatures been there . Not sure where you are in Tenn. but I know here we have had lots of flooding from all the rains .Helene really did a job on some parts on Virginia like it dd in NC and Florida and even Tenn. . I know here it is in the 60's all this week into next week . Do you know the temperature of your water . What kind of fish do you have . Does the pond get more shade or sun.

snail eggs look like that.
Could be but I always see the ones in my pond in a mass of jelly all together. Maybe some sort do it differently? Wondering how big those eggs are. Maybe they could put a coin next to them to compare size?
