Hi all:

=20

On the owl route last night I would say that there were more spring peepers=
 and wood frogs per stop than in any other year.  I have one stop though wh=
ere the chorus of the frogs=2C both spring peepers and wood frogs usually h=
urts the ears.  This year maybe two single frogs were vocal.  I must admit =
that I'm somewhat perplexed over this.  Any ideas as to why this might be s=
o?  Does a drop in air temperature cause frogs to stop vocalizing?  This wa=
s close to the end of the route=2C but the temperatures were still higher t=
han in most other years.  The temperature had dropped from plus 8 to plus 2=
.
