Bird song is not the most amazing sound, though now, March 18 they begin before dawn. Spring peepers also delight me with their evening songs. Psudacris crucifer. Not surprising the educators dropped the CROSS on the back of this tiny frog and now simply refer to it as an X.
Hearing a spring peeper is rather easy. Seeing one is a different challenge altogether! Once Bryan brought me one cupped in his hands. This video helps my imagination.
I just love it! Makes me laugh and know regardless of the ground hog nonsense and the thermometer, spring IS coming.
Keep your ears and eyes open!
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
–Revelation 5:13
“The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.”
–Psalm 19:1
Spring peepers are amazing–their calls are quite memorable. I have heard some frogs this spring, but the little ponds I have visited don’t seem to have spring peepers, or I was there at the wrong time of the day. I remember I was so thrilled when I finally managed to photograph one a few years ago (https://michaelqpowell.com/2016/04/21/spring-peeper/).

I should contact you before I write about these things! Your photos beat any online. 🙂

Thanks for the compliment, Molly. You can find out about almost anything you want on-line, but the quality is uneven. Do you remember when we used to rely on encyclopedias as a definitive source of information? I was a bookworm when I was growing up and I loved to lose myself in encyclopedias at my local library. 🙂
