We have spring peepers and they have been peeping for a couple of weeks but we have noticed there are not nearly as numerous as previous years. We also have wood frogs. They are very active during the day (except when we approach the pond to watch the frenzy they suddenly go quiet and take a dive). But we have also noticed the numbers to be lower than previous years. We are hoping the numbers will increase as spring progresses and the weather warms. As we have not been here that long it is difficult for us to determine what is "normal."
