Spring Peepers Peeping! An X-Rated Spring Song

A very very short video in which you can hear the wonderful song of spring nights--the mating song of the spring peepers (just outside my door):

Here is a link to the Wikipedia article on these critters: Spring Peepers

Here's what those little buggers look like:

Peeper Peeping--Looking for Love

This was found on a Google image search

Early April Hallelujah Chorus

The spring peepers singing their hearts out last night

Right outside my window, in the wetlands, near the creek,

Chirping their love

Seeking out their Romeos and Juliets

Reckless frog lovers

One green inch of high C

Chanting to the drumbeat

Pulsing in their peeper souls

The hum in the blood,

The need for a mate

Louder than the call for food or sleep

Or anything else --

Not so different from

Human peepers of spring!
