procreation - are back. Or at least tonight was the first night of the season that I've heard them from the WeatherDeck in Cockeysville. Anybody else hear them? It's always a welcome sound after a long winter, and a good indication that somebody's wetlands are still healthy enough to support the little amphibians.

The first few spring peepers have been chirping away in my Pasadena back yard for about a week. By the way, the National Aquarium in Baltimore has a great exhibit on frogs, and you can hear recordings of various species.

We've been hearing spring peepers here in Annapolis for over a week. In fact, with the snow last Wednesday, I was wondering if the early risers were a bit too early and froze to death! The peepers came out in force though last weekend.

We heard them for the first time last night here in Harford County north of Bel Air. Great sound!

Yeah! I,ve been hearing them for about a week here in Elkton. Often wondered what the little creatures looked like. Thanks, Ed
