If the peepers are singing, spring is surely here. This season provides many of our favorite things. The emergence of wildlife, ideal fishing weather, sunshine on the trails and the return of turkey hunting. What are you looking forward to most? | West Virginia Division of Natural Resources

Do you recognize this sound? Considered by many as the announcement of spring, this distinct, loud, high-pitched “peep” is the call of a spring peeper. More often heard than seen, these very small, pale-brown frogs can be recognized by the X-shaped mark on their backs. #WildlifeWednesday | NYS Department of Environmental Conservation

🔊🐸 Spring peepers are known for their high-pitched mating call, a sound they repeat about 20 times a minute. But did you know that the faster and louder they sing, the better the chances of attracting a mate? 💕 What do you think about this peeper’s chances? #WildlifeWednesday | West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
