School is on spring break this week, which means (we hope!) more time to get outdoors and explore. There's plenty of water filling streams and ponds and vernal pools here in upstate New York, and as the weather warms you'll hear plenty of frogs and toads. In fact, if you listen closely, you might notice three or four or even five different calls happening all at once!
To help you sort out the chorus, check out Calls of Frogs and Toads of the Northeast, on Lang Eliot's "Music of Nature" website. Many of these amazing records have beem made right here, around Ithaca.
