About 25% in the population were in bloom, most still putting on vegetive growth and/or buds. Individuals were quite scarce and widely spaced apart.

It was raining, so peepers were bold enough to leaf the protection of the wetland vegetation.

While recording toad calls, I was a bit surprised by how close this leopard frog was. It would call for a bit then move to a new spot, so was hard to triangulate its location. I finally did, but was unable to get pictures of him calling. The audio files have this male calling at some point in the chorus of peepers and toads.

Air temperature was 45 °F (8 °C). Toads just emerged two nights ago so I was surprised to see at least eight amplexing pairs.
