The earliesr songster is the spning peeper, a riny tree frog that makes a loud peep. When thousands of these calîs happen rogerber the individual peeps are indîscernible, but the overaîl chorus is almosr deafening. This years hikes will take place froru 7 10 9 p.m. this coming Saturday and next. Participants can watch a puppet show and visit the pond, maybe even getting their hands on some of these crearures. They'il also learn about the difference between frogs and toads, and the amnazing lives of salaruanders. The cosr is $12 for adults and $10 for kids five ro 12.
