lentrichard, More spring sightings: Have had Wood Frogs (Rana sylvatica) and Spring Peepers (Hyla crucifer) calling in the last few days from wet areas in the surrounding #forest.
But the Wikipedia tells me that Spring Peepers are now Pseudacris crucifer and Wood Frogs are Lithobates sylvaticus. I cannot keep up with all of this scientific name changing. I shall now just call them all "frogs."
