Spring Peeper Calling

Spring Peeper Calling

Check out this gorgeous and tiny anuran reveler, the spring peeper doing what it does best.  A spring peeper calling is one of the best sounds I hear every winter.  This small frog makes a big sound. They typically grow to be approximately 3/4 to 1 inch and females will get slightly larger. They have a distinct X marking on their back giving them the species name "crucifer." As I love to point out so often, spring peepers carry their crosses, do you?
