Last week it was up in the 70s here in Missouri and yep they have been making noise ever since, but I do also have 2 spring feed pond or should I say lakes since they have an inlet and out let but any how they have been sounding off big time

0 degrees this morning, and 8 inches or more snow on the ground, nope, ain"t heard any spring peepers.
Deer are scraping the snow under oak trees looking for acorns. May be going hungry, that area has been cleaned over by experts already.

Had the first bug on the windshield of the season middle of last week, saw a male redbird yesterday and heard the peepers yesterday evening. Spring is in the air, just hopes it stays there......

They first started singing last week, and heard them up till Monday morning. There was a great big covey of robins in the yard last week, too (counted 17 of them at once). Ooo bring on the spring! Mark

Thanks, I had forgotten that word. I'm sure it will come in handy now that you've brought it back to mind. Yippee for precise speech, as they say.

It was actually a bit tongue in cheek, as it is waiting through warm dry periods by digging into mud/soil and becoming dormant(summer) when normal swamp life dries up. Hibernation is a winter approach to the same thing. Jim
