Spring 2000
The
call of the Spring Peeper
is one of the first sounds of
spring. This sound of change and hope can rejuvenate us
all after a long winter. The repetitive loud call creates
an atmosphere of newness. It is an awareness of the beauty
that surrounds us, which we too often take for granted…the
beauty of the place we call home.
To
celebrate Earth Day we created an audio
CD of the sounds of the Spring Peeper. If you would like
to learn about the Spring Peeper and hear its call, please

or call us at 608.280.0800.
