The Sound of Spring

Pseudocris crucifer: Spring Peeper

The peepers are back!  Yes, the little guys have been singing away every morning this week; the males are serenading the females hoping to find a mate.  They're providing the perfect background music for my weeding. 

They don't live in my garden, but in the one down the street where there is a small stream and marshy area.  They're a a thumb-sized type of chorus frog that emerges with the first warm weather to sing and mate. 

Here's a link to a video and recording of peepers: http://youtu.be/zBUXYrUA2pw
