Snipe, Chorus Frogs

[V. Kirkwood]

I heard a Snipe winnowing in the pre-dawn today (April 9), Such a gentle sound.

Two hours later, as the sun started to melt the frost off the grass although the air temperature was still below freezing, a few Chorus Frogs started to call in my duck pond. The calls were slow, each note separate, rather than the running upward blur that I hope to hear later today.

I headed out the laneway to cut some firewood at about 9:30 a.m.,
stopped at the pond, not a sound. Just came back, stopped again,
there were a lot of peeps but no trills. Last night when I took the
dog out at 10:30 p.m. there were 2 half hearted peeps from over the
hill. I' sure tonight there will be a chorus.

Yesterday I saw my first mourning cloak butterfly, and today it looks
like the loon is back. He's a way down the lake, later today if the
bird comes closer I'll be able to confirm that.

* coming back from the Athens area this noon, we heard Chorus Frogs
along the Temperance Lake Road, and along the CoRd28 near New Dublin -
but none north of there.
