Maxwel Hohn slips silently into a secluded lake on central Vancouver Island strewn with lilypads and fallen logs.

Camera rolling, he descends into the clear water, meandering along aquatic trails cut by beaver, and then starts to capture the magic.
 

Millions of plump tadpoles appear — clouds, Hohn calls them — moving en mass in their remarkable daily migration from the depths of the lake to its oxygen-rich shallows where they feed on algae to support the metamorphosis to western toad.

The Royston-based filmmaker and expert diver spent four years filming the tadpole’s incredible daily journey, between June and July, and this fall released Tadpoles: The Big Little Migration, a mini documentary on this crucial phase of life for the toad, a designated threatened species in British Columbia under constant threat from urban development, logging and vehicle traffic.
