Wish I had a microphone!

I spent about 20 minutes listening to a chorus of spring peepers, leopard frogs, and bullfrogs that inhabit this pond on our proerty, hoping to catch one in action. I only saw one leap near those two trees in the middle of this scene, but no visible sign of others, only their deafening chorus. I tried zooming in to different areas, but no luck. The only real proof they were there would be if I had a sound recording.

I live across from a marsh that covers about 20 acres. I wait all Winter to hear this sound. Sometimes my wife and I will walk over there and just listen to the chorus. Nature's music, it's spectacular. I feel sorry for the people who never hear this music.

I know Spring is coming when I hear the sandhill cranes overhead and then a couple weeks later hear the spring peepers. A few years ago I read that some Hawaiian tourists complained that the frogs outside their rental home were too loud and couldn't the owners do something about it! Not me, it's music to my ears. Our area has many small wooded wetlands scattered about. Frogs are certainly not an endangered species here!

Ah... Big difference beyween the frogs you hear , which I've heard and like, and the deafening sounds of the tree frogs in Hawaii. Not only the tourists, but the locals, a few of which are friends of mine, complain. The cocquil frogs are not native to Hawaii, and they multiply extremely quickly.
Difference is like hearing a train rumble off in the distance, and standing next to the switching track in a railway yard all day.
