I've been observing wood frogs and boreal chorus frogs in the springtime for years. It is amazing that there can still be snow in places in the bush and the small 'ponds' of snow meltwater in the bush will be teaming with life. I sat down and was still for a 1/2 hour beside a bush puddle and the within eyesight, without turning my head, I could have counted a few hundred frogs. There were dozens of frogs piggybacking each other in rows. The chirping sounds sounded like aliens in stereo and was hypnotic. Wood frogs breed from early April until mid June so I imagine the puddles will be busy because this spring was a week or two late. The boreal chorus frog isn't as easy to watch but they are there.
