I love that sound this time of year!!
Last year, 'round this time, maybe later, I was working the mid-shift. Around 0200, pulled into the local parking lot, window down (Real warm that night) and heard them. Turned the car off and sat a listened to them for about 1/2 hour. Partner pulls in and asks what I'm doing so I tell him. To this day, he STILL thinks I'm nuts (Although he is right)
Very peaceful after a long winter. Brings everything into perspective and lets you know that the fishing is not that far off! I love it!!!

i've delved into that phenomenon on numerous occasions
Link....and it's the equivalent of budhist monks chanting
in a temple... as the tree frogs begin an echo melody
that... kind of ricochets off the origional reverberations
of the third kind. i know what you mean. |

MountainCaster called from his home in Kentucky. Says "here, listen to this" Holds his cell out so's I can hear the peepers. All is right in the world now.

I went outside to my Jeep last night around 9. It was a veritable peeper symphony. Beautiful early spring night, clear sky, crescent moon, and one lone coyote howling in the woods behind the house. I had to just stand still for a few minutes and drink it all in.

Had to dig up the peeper threads from past years to check out the dates. First night I have heard the symphony this year. Right on schedule.
