frogs, peepers, out tonight

http://glencadia.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-peepers-are-out-tonight.html

Every year I note the night the peepers, frogs, come out. It's a very clear marker of spring, as all the frogs come out at once -- once one male frog starts singing for a mate, the others come right out and join in so it goes from quiet one night to loud the next night. It is loud right now.

Here are 7 years of first nights.
