In this episode we take a trip out to the pond to listen to another sound of spring. In what perhaps is the twist of a lifetime, it's not a sound made by a bird. Bird Dad becomes Naturalist Dad this week to rhapsodize about an early spring event that takes place on the warmest, wettest (dare we say, biggest?) nights in early spring.

Species in Focus: Wood Frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus), and Spring Peepers (Pseudacris crucifer)

In this episode my love for American Woodcocks (and how weird they are) should become apparent, as I go searching in my backyard to find one.
