The Frogs Were Deafening.

Wow!!!  The frogs on my place were yelling their heads off last night.  We had a grey, rainy day ahead of the cool front that was moving in and the frogs seemed to really enjoy it.  I think it is just wonderful to step outside and be serenaded by frogs and owls.  I really like living here. . . most of the time.

Now, that got me wondering what all was yelling.  The owls were easy to identify, they were barred owls.

But then there were the frogs.  Now they were deafening!!  And not so easy to identify.  The bull frogs are easy to identify, but I didn't hear any of them last night.  May not be quite warm enough for them yet.  But the smaller ones, the ones we call "Spring Peepers" were hard at it.  The one below, I have seen at different places around my property and resting in the daytime on my buildings and things:

  I can not identify which ones I was hearing but they could have been some of the below:

 

 

But there always has to be a control.  This bird is doing its part in keeping the frogs from taking over the world.  I hope he doesn't do too good of a joy because without my frogs, there would be a lot more mosquitoes bothering me.

And yes, I borrowed all the above pictures from the Internet.  Now, you all have a great day and try not to croak, you hear?
