What is that you hear? That’s right, it is spring and the frogs are out and talking! Here in St. Louis we have several species of frogs that come out and breed early in spring. Males will make their way to the water’s edge and call for females. Each species has its own unique call.

The chorus of spring peepers is one of the first signs of spring! Even on a dreary day, the peepers are quite loud. This weekend, one of our members recorded the peepers at a sound reading of 82 decibels! That’s louder than a truck. Have you been hearing spring peepers yet this year? | Tyler Arboretum

Hear that?! It's a sweet chorus of spring peepers! These tiny amphibians, no more than 1'' long, begin singing in early spring to attract future mates. The males typically start their "peeping" sounds in March up until June. The warmer the weather gets, the more mates they can attract so they can reproduce. Fun fact: female peepers lay their eggs singly (aka one at a time), attaching them to submerged vegetation. A female peeper can lay up to 1,500 eggs! So, next time you are out exploring, keep

HEARD IN MASHOMACK: a chorus of spring peepers singing in our freshwater kettles. Listen to these spring peepers (VOLUME ON)...tiny but mighty. They only grow about 1-1 1/2" in size but are very loud for such small animals. And just as their name suggests, these little amphibians are a sure sign that spring is on the way! | The Nature Conservancy in New York

Spring peepers are small chorus frogs (Pseudacris crucifer) known for their distinctive high-pitched “peep” calls, which are one of the first signs of spring in many parts of eastern North America, including Michigan. What They Are: • Size: Tiny—only about 1 inch long. • Color: Typically tan or brown with a dark “X” marking on their backs. • Habitat: Found in wooded areas and near wetlands, especially in temporary pools and marshes during breeding season. • Sound: Their calls sound like high-pit

We were so excited to hear the spring peepers - also known as chorus frogs - the other day during night chores, signifying that winter is ending and spring is here. This particular variety of frog only lives east of the Mississippi, and I’d never heard them until we moved here. Here are a few fun facts about these friends: 🐸 The nightly chirps are actually a mating ritual - the males are calling out to the females 🐸 New peepers are born underwater and eggs hatch in just 12 days (chickens are 2

Spring peepers are coming out of hibernation making their distinct chirping sounds. 🐸 Have you heard them? DYK, due to the spring peepers' permeable skin, they are highly sensitive to pollution. Because of this sensitivity, spring peepers are good indicators of the health of their surrounding environment. Peepers = healthy water and forest! | New Jersey Forest Service

Ever hear this sound in early spring and think "what could that bird be?" Surprise, it's not a bird, it's a spring peeper! Spring peepers are a chorus frog that typically lives around woodlands and wetlands, like this one at Stroud Preserve. Thanks to Jarrod Shull for sharing this video. | Natural Lands
