They are here!
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.
Although it seems like this has been an endless winter, in fact, the frogs came out later last year.
Here are 8 years of first nights.
