Froggy Friday

It's springtime in the north woods and the water is warming up. I'm not quite brave enough to dive in for a lake swim just yet but the warming temperatures means all the seasonal ponds and wetlands are teaming with frogs and toads.
My dog walks through the woods are getting noisy. Not from me or my dog but the sounds of Chorus Frogs,


Song of the Chorus frog.

Leopard Frogs,


Sound of the Leopard Frog.

and the American toad.


Song of the American Toad.

And soon the Spring Peepers


Peep of the Spring Peeper.

and Wood frogs will be puffing out their throats.


Sound of the Wood Frog.

Enjoy the sounds of spring.

Damn you for scaring the crap out of me when I opened up your blog.

I am deathly afraid of frogs and I yelled and jumped out of my chair and almost knocked the table over.

The hair on my arms is standing on end and I have the heebee jeebees right now.

OH, I could just lay there with the windows open listening to them all night. Great sounds. If one jumped on my, I'd be screaming like a little girl!

I never realized the American Toad was so fat! I'm also waiting for my friend's (unheated) pool to warm up enough for me to try jumping in.
