Andy, was it spring peepers you were hearing? i.e., loud, high
single "peeps" from our lone species of treefrog? Another frog that
calls at this time of year is the green frog, which sounds like a
plucked banjo string ("glunk"). Try Googling the herpatlas
(Herpetological Atlas of Nova Scotia) or just novascotiafrogs
perhaps, where you should be able on line to listen to all of the
province's frog and toad species, of which we have about 12 species
or less. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
