With the recent heavy rains around here, the spring peepers are going nuts today with the warm weather we're enjoying. I don't know why -- maybe it's because their little froggy peeps are some of the first hopeful signs of Spring -- but hearing them sing in unison this early makes me unreasonably happy.

Feel free to share. There are a lot of us out here who could use some unreasonable happiness, but are sadly out of earshot.

@briankrebs I heard my first ones this afternoon when I went birding at a nearby marsh! Made me happy to hear them, too.

When the dogwoods bloom and the peepers peep, it’s Spring. That the rules.

And also when the bunnies hop out on the grass! And I think there's something about crocuses budding in the bylaws somewhere...

@briankrebs thank g-d you aren't talking about those peeps that were made in the 1970s and sold as of they're merely 5 years old.

@briankrebs Back when I was a 911 operator, a resident called in unknown alarms going off in the area.

..... it was frogs singing.

The sound of peepers is a welcome contrast to the silence of Winter. See also Robins, Daffodils.

Yes, they were singing in the pond last night here too. It did make me feel less awful, for a while at least.

And this morning for the first time in many months I heard the birds performing their dawn chorus, low key but unmistakable while they wait for reinforcements from the south. Even witnessed a small friendly congregation in a neighbor's bare tree, perhaps a sign of an early spring from this sadly weak and dry winter.

@briankrebs I was arrested for spring peeping once.
