The voices of spring!

First we had foggy mornings, now we have froggy mornings and nights! They are in, yes, the natural 'frog pond'; the spring peepers are in the nearby wetland!
The tree frogs are in the trees, singing or chirping, looking for love!



The happy frogs are singing in the frog pond. There is much action. As I approached they became silent. The odd tree frog would sing, but soon all was silent. Eventually, as I waited patiently, they began to sing and I recorded them.
when you are small
-you hide in a knot!
I just missed the shot,
as the one on the left takes off from the one in the rings.

which is leaking :-(

Frog pond, nearly melted. It drain into the wetland.
which is below in the background.

The other end of the pond, the high ground and much warmer,
where most of the frogs frolic.

The dead grasses from last year,
with some green beginning to show.
