Peepers rock! tiny little buggers. Had 1 as a pet for a little while. Then released em. And the stripers never left, depending on where you are. Just get out there and catch em.

No peepers here yet but the skunks are everywhere already! Most of them a little on the "flat" side too

Something is very wrong. You got peepers and I still have a foot of snow and 5 foot high piles. My pond has well over a foot of ice. I am in Rhode Island. Are you in Ocala FL??

No boat, back in the suds.

got daffodils 4 inches up already but I'm not falling for this false spring talk. Those peepers can go back in the mud real quick.

Peepers inhabit vernal ponds not large bodies of water.
With all the melting and rain runoff, these vernal ponds will be some of the first to thaw. I love the sound of peepers.
I love the smell of the sea air, and the smell of a freshly caught striper!

I hate peepers.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
