peepers!
My first hearing of the peeps is tonight, this is a hopeful sign that warmer weather is coming our way and here to say the long bitter cold snap is gone till November.
Bring it on!

I heard 2 lowly peepers last week just outside Wistah. Poor buggers could only talk to themselves

Been hearing them for at least a week down here. I felt sorry for them when everything was still covered in two feet of snow.

Just missed one hopping across the street near home. First time this year. Heard a mess of 'em on the way down to Trenton along Rt. 1 this afternoon. One of those "wetlands" in Jersey.

Were singing big time behind a local pond I fished today, and caught my first 2 LM of the year. They are definitely a sign it's time to start fishing.

Started hearing the wood frogs early last week. Then the peepers joined them on Friday night. Yesterday I started hearing the occasional bull frog in the neighbors pond.

They were loud as I have ever heard last night at a vernal pool last nite. I almost did a recording. Sounded like 1000's of the little buggers in a pool 20' by 20'. I guess they are as happy as I about winter being over.

it's very cool when you can get between two groups
when they call to one another a reverberation happens
(ping/pong match) and it will vibrate you to your core....
you just have to have the patience to interrupt them
then sit down slowly -motionless with no ground penetration noise allowed
and they'll eventually get back up to full chorus
that's when it gets really good
