Spring sounds in October?🤔

Have you heard our resident chorus frogs calling at Hawthorn Hollow lately? It almost sounds like spring has arrived early…but mating season is over, so what’s going on? 👀

These vocal little critters are juvenile male chorus frogs born this year. They’re practicing their calls and perfecting their pitch to attract the perfect mate come spring! 🐸🎶

This recent stretch of unseasonably warm weather might have our little friends a little confused too… but either way, they’re a joy to listen to any time of year. Come visit them up by the wetland before they enter brumation for the winter! 🐸❄️🫶
