| Something else that makes me happy, the spring peepers that call every afternoon and evening outside my house. There's a little pond, about 40 by 40 feet, below my front yard in an old pasture. There are about six kinds of frogs and two toad species, and they all have their wonderfully distinct calls, but the mass of the spring peepers is overwhelming. If I'm talking on the phone and walk outside, people ask "what is that noise?" It's loud, but it's a beautiful sound, really. If you click the link above, you can listen to the call, but it sounds different in mass than when you hear an individual. I loves me some frogs. |
