Did a little hiking and didging (as in Aboriginal wind instrument) down in the Ozarks yesterday and at the base of Buford Mountain, the peepers were in full swing (or loop) they get this call and response thing going big time (some of which is presumably mating? and part of which is attributable to a really fine 75 degree day :) happy in their stagnant little pools you have to sneak up or they all fall silent . . . but it's really amazing what they can do without even a whammy pedal . . . I've been by larger ponds where the sound was a ROAR, with a steady drone punctuated by solos by other anurans . . . and of course, that warm, southerly breeze was looping, too . . . dried leaves RATTLING, deadfall trees CREAKING, soda cans discarded by some cretin CLANKING and the wind itself WHISTLING . . . got back home late and looked at my arsenal of sound-tweakin gizmos, shook my head and went to sleep.
