Hi Patricia
We live up on the North Mountain and have a large pond in our yard. 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."
