Spring Peepers

-

In early spring, male Spring Peepers gather near wetlands and use their pipes to attract mates. While these frogs might be small, they can make quite a lot of noise. The louder they call, the more likely they’ll attract a mate. Each frog makes approximat­ely 20 peeps per minute. Some of them even work together, singing in chorus — the baritone of the crew kicking the song off.
