Jeepers Creepers...it's the Spring Peepers!

  • ​Posted April 08, 2011

What’s that you hear? It’s the spring peepers (small frogs) singing loud and clear. Their chorus is a sure sign that spring is here.

Northern Spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer crucifer) are primarily a woodland or forest edge species after the breeding season and are found throughout Ohio.  The Peepers have large discs on their fingers and toes and are much more agile climbers than either cricket or chorus frogs; however they seldom venture more than one meter up in the vegetation.
