It won’t be long until the spring chorus starts! Before long we will be hearing the chorus of spring, led by spring peepers.
Spring peepers overwinter in the soil; a natural antifreeze in their blood keeps them from freezing.
These frogs are active from late winter to late fall; breeding is in late February to mid-May in small woodland pools.
Most animals don’t use warm weather as a courtship trigger. Instead, the longer days, or internal cues like the loss of body fat, let them know the time has come to produce young.
