Spring Peepers back to peeping

Posted on Oct 7, 2013

As the days grow shorter the Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer) goes back to calling as if it were the spring again! You have probably heard the tiny chorus frog in damp woodlands as we have recently at RTPI. In trips to survey various Natural History Atlas sites we have heard them at nearly every single one.

What a remarkable sound to come from such a small creature…
