The annual spring migration is underway. Last post had 2-3″ snow, today there was a full day of drizzle. With temps in the 40s during the day and a nice moist atmosphere, I saw a nice range of the early spring amphibians. Several Wood Frog (Rana sylvatica): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_Frog, one Green frog (Rana clamitans): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rana_clamitans, one Spring Peeper (Pseudacris crucifer): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_peeper, several Jefferson salamander (Ambystoma jeffersonianum):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Salamander and several Northern Two-lined Salamander (Eurycea b. bislineata): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_two-lined_salamander and a Crayfish wandering around the road. I didn’t hear any calling, but I imagine the Wood frogs will be calling first. Typically the Wood frogs, Spring peepers and Chorus frogs are very close when they begin to call. The Wood frogs will only call for several days and they have a unique vocalization that sounds similar to a duck quacking. The males also give a warning call when they  are in close proximity to another, or have been mistaken for a female.I was able to get a good recording of the call, and will attach it to this post later.
