Spring peeper ‼️🗣️

Although spring peepers are rarely more than 1.5in long, they make some of the loudest sounds in the forest relative to their size! ©

"I'm just going to do quick doodles for these," I said. "Some fast pencil scribbles."

*proceeds to spend an hour drawing a single frog.*

Clearly I am full of lies. It is 99% pencil tool though. Using the ink pen brush to do the eyes so they have crisp edges.

Amphibiuary Day 4: Sing. One of my favourite frogs, the spring peeper, Pseudacris crucifer.

My childhood home was very close to a large wetland area. You knew springtime was truly here when the peepers would start living up to their name. The volume level of their booty calls is not commensurate with their tiny size at all. Some ponds in the woods could be almost painful to stand near with how loud it would get.

Love these little dudes.

They sound like this:

Peep! peep peep!! peep peep peep! peep! It’s a spring peeper!

These chorus frogs live near me and they do get very loud! They have a lot to say.

IT HAPPENED YALLL! First big night this year

Spring according to the signs

Yesterday I saw the first butterfly - well, either it was four mourning cloak butterflies or just one really nosy one who kept following me around the yard. Today the first daffodil bloomed in a sheltered spot near the house, and we heard the first spring peepers at dusk. All those things are about two weeks early.

Some frogs I've seen lately

[toadschooled]

It’s Croak Sac Sunday! Please enjoy these images of a spring peeper [Pseudacris crucifer] peeping his heart out in Tompkins County, New York. If you live in the eastern United States or Canada, then you certainly have heard the spring peeper’s call. They begin calling very early in the spring, often before all other species. A pair of peepers can produce about 900 eggs. Images by Joyce Gross.

Spring peeper baby. Size of my pinkie fingernail.

Found a certified little guy last night (probably a young spring peeper) :)

[mostlythemarsh]

This little guy is less than an inch long.  Awful hoppy too.  He’s hiding under a Trillium here.  Always happy to find a frog.
