Do you recognize this sound? Considered by many as the announcement of spring, this distinct, loud, high-pitched “peep” is the call of a spring peeper. More often heard than seen, these very small, pale-brown frogs can be recognized by the X-shaped mark on their backs. #WildlifeWednesday | NYS Department of Environmental Conservation

🐸 Smol frog, big sound. Have you heard the nightly chorus come alive, signalling the first signs of spring? Spring peepers are one of the first frogs heard in the transition from winter to spring. Want to practice your frog call ID skills? National wildlife refuges are known for wetlands and are a good place to listen for frogs any time of day, especially at dusk. Just be sure to check local regulations for open and closed hours. Spring peeper calling by Megan Seymore/USFWS | U.S. Fish and Wild

🔊🐸 Spring peepers are known for their high-pitched mating call, a sound they repeat about 20 times a minute. But did you know that the faster and louder they sing, the better the chances of attracting a mate? 💕 What do you think about this peeper’s chances? #WildlifeWednesday | West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
