March 10th, 2010

Fish Crows continued to fly over on Tuesday (3/9). I searched my personal audio library that I keep for video soundtracks and found a file that contains the nasal calls of the Fish Crows as they wing by. Have a listen here: The same day, Spring Peepers, Upland Chorus Frogs, (The chorus frogs are the [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Pickerel Frogs and Green (blue) Snakes by , Ranger

July 15th, 2009

It was still raining on July 5 as I headed out to the Wetlands along the paved path on the Explore the Wild/Catch the Wind loop. As I walked along, I could see ahead of me small frogs hopping to the left and to the right, hopping to get out of the way as I [...] Read the rest of this entry »

The turtle had found itself into the water filter basket of the pond, with no easy way out. This very young Snapping Turtle, only about 1.75 inches from the front of the shell [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Tiny Toads, Morphing Frogs, and a Nest Robber by , Ranger

June 15th, 2008

On the first day of June I heard Narrow-mouthed Toads calling from the Wetlands. They’re about 1-1.5 inches in length. They spend a good deal of their time in the woods in burrows or under rocks or logs so they’re tough to find visually. I heard their lamb-like “baaaa” calls coming from the Wetlands when [...] Read the rest of this entry »
