Signs of spring are finally here! On a warm spring night, you can hear the unique sound of a Spring Peeper chorus. Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer), one of Long Island’s tree frogs, produce some of the earliest sounds of spring and for many are a sign that winter’s everlasting chill has finally come to an end. The loud, sleigh-bell chorus that we hear is how the males search for a mate. Although very loud, these tiny frogs are rarely seen. Join Jake at dusk for a search through the wetlands in Vineyard Field to locate this elusive chorus of frogs.
