Spring Peepers

The nocturnal chorusis not produced by birds or crickets, but by small, thumbnail-sized tree frogs. They perch on grasses and sedges at the edge of ponds or roadside ditches. The males call mates with a shrill "peep peep peep". They are brown or gray color, well camouflaged amid the dead spring grasses. If the night is cold, Peepers retreat under leaves and stems.
