The peepers, when they get a chorus going, sound like the giant ants in that old sci-fi movie "THEM".
As of cane toads, I am thankful we don't have that problem anywhere in the US, since they are poisonous to anything that "tries" to eat them. |

we need spell check on the Site BOSS MAN , it took me 10 min. to type this so, I'm slow and low in the groove to move on to a much more intelligent life but I 'm afraid it won't happen in this lifetime. ml:faga: |
Well after weeks of deafening concert like peeping, heard only one or two tonight. Looks like they are gonna have to settle for sloppy seconds.

First night for the peepers.
a little earlier than last year. |
I just went out and could hear peepers in the distance. Also noticed the first sign of night crawlers in the grass. Still too cold for them to be too active and definitely skidish.

I saw a frog hopping across the street last Saturday and thought it was pretty early. Tonight, I heard the peepers when I got home. I hate those things.
|
I read this last year.... and still have no idea what the peepers sound like.
|

Sounds I love:
|
Some sounds I like:
The sound of a fish hitting a surface lure, be it fresh or salt water. When a small plane flies over on a quiet day. It's that light droning sound that hits me. The call of a mocking bird. They can and will mimic any sound that cathces their ear. I once heard one mimic a cat meow on the tip-top of a maple tree, or another time when I heard one mimic a lawnmower. one last favorite sound (which I do miss here at work) was our old fax machine. When a fax was coming in, it made the identical sound as the channel marker at the entrance to Duxbury Bay. I could here this sound wafting across the bay on a foggy night while fishing the Powderpoint Bridge. The fax machine would pop that memeory into my head all year long, and I loved it. Sound that I hate Traffic and automobile noises, sirens, sreeching tires, etc.... Loud radios playing unintelligible rap music, cause it really all does sound exactly the same, and it's generally junk music to begin with. Personally, I hate drunks, no matter what I am doing. I grew up with an alcoholic dad (who did quit) and I don't need to relive those memories EVER. |
I heard-em last night!
|
No peepers last night but they are screaming right now.

A couple of amazing shots from a tree in the yard last year.
|
Just went out back with my son based on this thread. Literally heard 1 going about every two seconds. We were cracking up.
|
You mean its safe to come out of hibernation now? :hidin:
|
In Vermont I haven't heard peepers yet, but the birds are going crazy. Lots of geese returning to Champlain and walking to work this morning I counted 7 cardinals singing away. And a few crocuses in bloom.
|
also for me it is the song from robins siting high in a tree as the sun is getting low in the sky. Sound is so spring.
I listened last nite when i got home from work but no peepers yet in my neck of the swampy woods although with all this rain they probably drowned. |
A solitary peeper heard tonight while having a butt.... Dates have been pretty consistant here year over year. Even with these cold nights.
|
Still a solid foot of snow on the ground here ... 2000 feet up in western Mass., where there ain't no striped bass.
|
the res still has ICE
no peepers yet here because its colder ,24 degrees
i still have snow.... temps ramp up after today tho... SPRING they are the first line of defense against mosquito's before the bats (populations severely diminished) and the flying (eat bugs out of the air) birds arrive. keep in mind that the skeeters have up to ten disease's now adequate vitamin B1 in your diet deters them as they TASTE your skin before dippin the straw for blood and when they taste the vitamin B1 :point: they fly away |
Holy crap!Talk about bringing up an older thread.
They're peeping down my way.Won't be long before it gets loud. |
