It only took a couple warm spring days to get the Wood Frogs ready for mating season. With a few isolated patch of snow still on the ground, the Wood Frog's mating call is loud around a small vernal pond on our property.
Wood Frogs may be small, about 3 inches, but a chorus of hundreds of mating frogs can be deafening.
Another vocal amphibian of spring is the Peeper. The Wood Frogs and Peepers were both into mating serenades at the pond. I was able to get this photo of a Wood Frog and a much smaller Peeper (to the right of the Wood Frog) as they sang their mating calls.
