Last night held several surprises. First, I hear a Leopard frog calling from a dry meadow nearby. The call is very subdued, and it isn’t the full mating call. The call was primarily the introduction and missing the several grunts that follow the full call. Second was the pack of coyotes that called during a recording of Chorus frogs. The Chorus frogs and Peepers are in full swing, and I suspect if it rains tonight, the choruses will be even stronger. These recordings are taken between Rout 82 and Vaughn road on the Towpath.
