heading up(I believe) the Ohio Herpatology Association, about a chance for
parents to get their children involved in nature, right here in our own backyards,
The Emerald Canyon.
Earlier in the week it began to get warmer and the snow around the amphibian breeding pools began to melt.
Eventually the daytime temperatures hit the upper sixties and today, although cooler,
it began to rain. There were many amphibian fans out to see the annual migration.
Spring Peepers could be heard calling off in the distance, though a few, like this one,
were crossing the road. Most Spring Peepers have an "X" mark on their back - this one
was a variation on that theme.

Grab a flashlight take the kids down to the park, watch but do not collect, and have fun.
