Pseudacris crucifer

[PETRUS]

8. The peepers aren't awake here yet.

Once the season kicks in, it's loud (in a pleasant way) on my back porch. I have noticed more wildlife in general, though. Perhaps fewer cars on the road, and fewer people out and about in general, are making their lives easier? Peepers aren't the only thing I'm not hearing from my back porch - my house is a mile or two from an interstate highway, and there's usually a steady hum coming from that direction. It's so much quieter now with everyone sheltering in place; for me, that's one of this situation's silver linings.

Thanks for your post!
