| Actually I have only heard the wood frogs quack so far, but some of you must have heard them, right? Especially after this change of weather! |

| I'm not sure but today when in RI I thought I heard a few. Also, rugosa roses are showing green leaf buds. Carol |

| I heard birds singing for the first time yesterday. We don't have any peepers around us. |

| Ah, wood frogs! the harbingers of peepers, which are the harbingers of spring! Should be only a few days now, cloud_9. Probably a few weeks for me, but I'll check tonight. Please report any peeper occurrences - I'll add them to the FAQ. Thanks,

woodfrogs?
| | |
when do woodfrogs make their frog noises. When I went out at bout 8:30 yesterday morning, I thought I heard frogs croaking, but I dismissed the thought. I thought is too late in the morning to hear such a chorus. No peepers yet, I'm sure.
Robins are trilling away. I haven't noticed the red-winged blackbirds yet, but they must be here if the robins are. Marie |

| I finally heard my first Peepers tonight after dark. It's funny that I was sitting next to the pond in the evening and didn't hear them at all then. The wood frogs were fairly deafening though. And quite *ahem* active. It also seems as if I should be spared these danged mosquitoes till later. MUCH later please and thank you. |

| Had plenty of wood frogs going on Thursday but away for the weekend so I wonder if I got peepers while away. If so I hope they stay out when the cooler weather hits on Sunday. |

| Entered in the First spring peeper reports FAQ. Please keep the reports coming. Thanks,
Claire PS: idabean: Here the wood frogs sing a few days or a week before the peepers. |

| We're down in RI for the weekend and now that it's dark, the peepers are loud. They may have started sounding off a few days ago but we weren't here yet. Carol |

| I was visiting friends in Wilmington and they had lots of peepers and some croaking frogs across the street in a wetland. Friend said that peepers have been peeping for a few nights (friend didn't keep track of exactly which night they started however). And peepers tonight in Concord when I got home! Happy Spring everybody! |

| FAQ updated. I just went out and stood for a while across the street, uphill from the old cranberry bog. I heard a peeper! OK, just one peeper, but he steadfastly kept singing so I honor him. rich_manure: I heard my very first peepers in Weymouth - we lived across the street from a swamp and my parents would open the door so we could hear them.

| Tonight in the rain the full chorus was singing (singing in the rain, just singing in the rain ...) I thought I was going to have to splash across the street with my flashlight to hear them, but I only had to open the door and the volume was already turned up. Claire |

| We're 15 miles WSW of Boston. House about 25' from huge wet lands. Peepers started about a week ago and have been singing like crazy the last three or four days. |
