hopping for love
with a deafening chorus
wetlands come alive
There are many signs of spring to celebrate (I’ve written about this more than a few times, including posts about geese, turkey vultures, and more!), but another one of my favourites is spring peepers. Or, rather, the noise that these tiny frogs can make. In my neck of the woods, it’s right around now that the chorus is Full On and Loud (here’s a YouTube video that makes the point). It’s all about mating, of course, and the singing of these amphibians is for love. I have friends who have wetlands on their properties, and they tell me how these critters can be so loud that it can disrupt a good sleep! They sure can sing, sing, sing.
Oh, HAPPY EARTH DAY too 🙂
