spring peepers have started singing near a small creek that runs through my land in rockingham county north carolina / to me it’s one of the signs that spring is getting closer / thanks for the entertaining and educational story / 🙂
Aww! Frank, these peepers are my main JOY of the spring time! Thanks for the interesting facts about them! Great video! ENJOYABLE! Take care now & BE SAFE! 🙂
One of my favorite sounds ....Spring Peepers! Took us years of early spring- cold, wet and dark-trips trying to show our children these little gems! (to say they were underwhelmed when we finally saw one would be an understatement!) Thanks for another great video!
My daughter and I were sitting out on our deck just last night, and I called her attention to the sound of the spring peepers. I didn't know anything about them, except that people called them "peepers", so this was really useful! Thank you!
Spring peepers comfort me in knowing that the winter is coming to a close, and that things are warming up enough for these little frogs to be singing love songs. Thank you for the interesting video.
Oh my goodness, that sound reminds me of where I used to live! I hear some where I live now, but nothing like I did where I lived before. I love that sound, especially mixed with other sounds of the night.
Hi Frank. Awsome I love the peepers. Today at work we had 2 gray tree frogs in our office. I took my phone and played tree frog calls. They came to me . Don't worry I took them out and put them in the forest. I'm still moving rocks for the wood rat project. We are almost done . 120 tons. I'm waiting for the loader. I have seen 2 flocks of gobblers and Jake the loader operator has seen several ruffled grouse. The piles of rock are for the wood rats to take shelter moving between the different colonies. The biologist in charge was showing me trail cam pictures. What we are doing is working. I love my job. Working for wildlife. Plus married to a gal that is willing to move to our off grid cabin in Maine when I retire. I love the north woods.
So cool hearing about what you do. I am on a train on my way to Rome right now. I am planning to do an episode on the I iconic Italian Stone Pine...practically a symbol of Rome itself!
Frank the pictures of Switzerland 🇨🇭 were bueatiful. You have a very awsome heritage. So cool that you know it all and were able to experience it. Take care teacher, safe travels. God bless.
Hi Frank. Awsome as always. Im texting from our crew headquarters. On state game land 121. We got rained out. Leaving we went past a pond we made years ago. There were 2 pairs of woodducks. The males are so colorful. We drove through to check the road.the animal count was a flicker, and a pair of red-tailed hawk,broad wing hawk. And more turkey gobblers. Im blessed to work at my job. God bless teacher. Your Pennsylvania friend, student Jeff. 😊
Hi Frank. I'm pretty sure. The red tailed hawks are a mated pair. They have been there for years on sgl 067. They are always close. Some times they just perch and let us drive by. Im sure they recognize us. They are good neighbors. God bless teacher
When I used to commute on the train from NYC, we would zip past wetlands in the spring, and their song would come right through the open windows…just delightful! Unfortunately, nowadays, you can no longer open the windows.
In the 1970s my brother and I could hear these peepers on our apartment bacony in wheaton maryland when we were kids .what a beautiful sound. All the woods are gone now and I need to go outside the suburbs to hear them. Too much overbuilding and must go far away to see the night sky....or a planetarium.
Fascinating. Thank you so much for all the information. Will be watching more of your videos, thanks for educating me....West Coast...never heard of a peeper until I was talking to a friend on the East Coast recently , and I could hear them in the background LOUD....very informative clip THANKS!!!!!!!
We have spring peepers and you are right you can hear them but can't see them. I've yet to see one. Thanks for a great video, I always wanted to know what they looked like.
Tell them they can send me questions anytime! Did they see the toad video I just released this morning? Have you found my reptile and amphibian playlist. Tell them I filmed episodes on green frogs...seal salamanders and two-lined salamanders..coming soon! Thanks for reaching out! Means so much to me!
Oh yes! We have been making our way through the salamander playlist, we are local and it’s one of my sons favorite pastimes to go find salamanders. He also loves frogs so he wanted to check out the amphibian playlist. He has a terrarium where he will observe for a little bit and then return everyone back where we found them. (Your gentle reminders on that have helped a lot as he always wants to keep them. He’s not as keen to release them when I suggest it but, when he hears you say it he’s very willing to do just what you say!) He has a frog right now they were very excited to identify as a spring peeper by the cross on its back, they were very proud they had managed to catch one!
@@katiemills3367 that is a great way to enjoy amphibians! So cool they were able to find a spring piper! Tell them I am proud of them! They are so hard to capture...much less see!
Hello Pine Bush, NY!!! Great to know the peepers are out! Red backs are my favorites ...have you seen that episode I did with some surprising facts about red backs!
Great video! My daughter’s favorite frog is the spring peeper and we bother really enjoyed watching this together. She would love to be able to find one. How cool that your daughter was able to! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing theses Frank..wish you would just post the sound of them all peeping at night..ones has to hear it to believe it.l NYS and the Hudson Valley have lotsa around Easter.
When I was a kid I used to go out at night with one of my friends and catch these (we always let them go, of course)! We would walk to where they were loudest and then when they stopped peeping we stood still and started making peeping noises to get them going again. We could sneak right up on them doing this. It was so fun tracking these little guys down.
I know isn't it crazy. Like the bees that cut off the back spur of violet flowers to get nectar without having to push threw anthers with pollen...simply defeating the purpose of the nectar!
When the spring peepers come out, you know things are about to get real. Fact #6 is so true not just with the peepers for me, the Boreal Chorus Frog in CO was always a hard one to find, too.
I can't wait to see the box turtles. None yet. I always move them from the road. Headed the way they were going. There a lots of them on our game lands.
Hi! Neighbor! That is awesome!!! Thanks for saying hi! What do you think of my channel! Did you see my sanderling sand piper, boat tailed grackle and Carolina anole episodes shot here?
Another interesting video. Most wooded areas near me that have stagnant water hold spring peepers. They are definitely difficult to find. I think I’ve only scene them maybe a handful of times over the many years I’ve been interested in nature. The Northern Cricket Frog is another interesting species.
love the peepers! Here them every year starting in March! Looking for wood frogs next hike its mating season for them too. Do you have merch! Love the logo/
You need to speak at the allegany nature pilgrimage. Probably too late for this year, they have web site check them out if you havent already. 1st weekend in June everyone, all are welcome always a good time with nature!
@@natureatyourdoor Please do you would fit in nicely. ANP is put on by the local audubon society and its a gathering of lovers of kinds of nature. Nature, learning and fun what could be better.
