Big Voices...

The male Spring Peepers are the ones who sing for mates.  

On our Saturday night adventure, one full grown peeper was located and photographed.  I thought I'd post a few pictures from that night.  The swampy area was perfect for hearing these frogs.  Truth be told though, I can readily hear the peepers from my own house...with the windows closed!  They do have loud voices for such little creatures.  


These woods had just a few wildflowers blooming.  The walk out to this point did involve wood plank walkways over water and took about 20 minutes.  It was really fun walking back to the cars in the dark!

I can't wait to take my kids out here and to  explore this area again!

They are so tiny to have such BIG voices! It sounds like a fabulous outing.

I hear them from inside my house too. They are amazingly loud.
