A frog song for your Friday – and other life at the Broad Branch and Linnean streams

April 9, 2021 by FHC 1 Comment

Now that it’s warmer, live outdoor concerts are happening every night at the Linnean and Broad Branch streams.

The spring peepers and American toads were chirping away last Wednesday evening. I spotted many toads mating at the Broad Branch but it was too dark to capture any photos. But on my way home, I found this one positioned perfectly under a street light.

On a visit to the streams earlier that day, I saw my first frog of the season… though it did not want to be seen.

There is a frog in there somewhere.

And this mallard couple was hanging out at the Linnean stream.

    I saw a Mallard couple on Soapstone Creek recently. I wonder if it is the same couple.
