Peepers
 

Hearing them loud and clear. Season is around the corner. (they must have been surprised with all the snow that is still around.....)

The wood frogs can have 65% of their body water completely freeze and still survive. Pretty insane and still amazes the scientists

Btw the hike is at 7:30 pm this coming Friday if anyone wants to join. The kids are allowed to touch and hold the frogs and salamanders. So it's not like a tree hugging kiss a plovers cornhole event. It will be my 1st time attending but I asked all the questions to make sure it wasn't going to be lame

driving my daughter to preschool the other day and have to pass Crystal Lake in W.Peabody, saw a few turtles sunning themselves on a log....gave me hope!

brings back memories
 

used to travel by trolly as a kid to crystal lake in the summer to swim.

no peepers yet but the robins are singing their song so it won't be long.

First time out in my new kayak yesterday and heard peepers and saw a few turtles for the first time this year. It won't be long now.

I heard the wood frogs yesterday when I got home from work, but no peepers.

I think it will be a while to I hear them up here in NH.

gonna be 51 degrees overnight soon
i think sunday night ....makes a big difference

came across a tiny pond in the Blue Hills yesterday with a zillion wood frogs quacking away.....today is going to be a winner too...winter is over and the feesh will be here soon!

March 26th - Osprey back to their summer nest near my house on Fore River, Weymouth
Soon....

didn't hear them over here

a cool thing to do
 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEFORE the skeeters/mayflies get active....

is to locate a good peeper pond and at dusk walk up there
and find a comfortable place to sit down awhile...

they will hear you coming and typically go into silent mode
for awhile. after being very quiet one or two will begin singing
then ten to twenty will join in... eventually the whole place
will get loud with a peeper chorus of astonishing volume
close your eyes and listen ...and you'll here the reverberation
rhythm (back and forth)
that is quite hypnotic and gets almost deafening to listen to....

expose yourself to ten minutes of the peeper concert

then yell real loud a quick "HEY !!!!! " and it will go instantly silent
but all your body cells will still be vibrating from the high
frequency of their calls.

There rampant in my back woods,they quite down like a moment of silence when a deer or fox trudge through.
Best sound of spring imho.

Still not hearing the peepers at my house, but heard them on the other end of town yesterday. The wood frogs are going crazy mating in my neighbors pond right now. My son scooped 4 of them out all stuck together the other day and then asked me why they were like that.

it was light at 8:15 last night and low 70s. I was in the hot tub s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g down my easter martini admiring my bass thumbs from 2 straight days of largemouth fishing and resting my sore a$$ from all the planting and mulching my wife had me doing. Ah, life is damn good!

Wood frogs started over the weekend but I still have snow on the north side of my back field and around the north side of the pond. Ice is out as of Friday.

Theses been a peeper reported behind the uri girls dorm rooms. A guy with grey hair, a long Swarovski camera lens and a baahd wickfihd accent. :hihi:
