In the other thread about our first signs of spring, there were several people who mentioned Spring Peepers. Last night during a warm 48* rain I noticed we had some visitors. We haven't heard any singing from Peepers yet this year, and these little guys were doing more "peeping tom" action than anything.

It's not quite that nice here yet. We're expecting 5 - 10" of snow tonight and tomorrow. But it's nice to get some warmer days between cold spells now. It won't be long! :)

The instructions that came with the chicks said "you must provide them with the bear necessities", so I did.

They were out in force last night, in the pounding snow.

We won't hear anything out of them for awhile yet. When we do get them, the sound is so strong it hurts the ears. If we go out in our yard on a busy peeper night we can not even carry on a conversation, not even with yelling. Of course this changes just like a switch once one of them feels something is wrong, owls seem to shut them up real quick.
