spring peepers, now?

ginevive Sep 29, 2004 01:21 PM

It is funny, but I have been hearing spring peepers the last few nights (and no, I am not nuts, haha.) Maybe the springlike, Fall temperatures trigger them to call again? I hope they start hibernating soon though, because I am sure winter will be insanely frigid and snowy here in NY.
Maybe they should be renamed "Spring-and-Fall peepers?"

It seems like every year there are people asking about spring peepers calling in the fall. The truth is that they are actually winter breeders, and this is what they love and it is not unusual for them to call sparingly. They really don't seem to hibernate since you can hear them calling almost every month between now and April!
