Will the Wood Frogs, Spring Peepers, Pickerel Frogs or Chorus Frogs be singing at Phineas Fen tonight? It depends on temperature, humidity, wind, and the whims of the frogs! Let's head out to this amazing rich wetland to "listen in" and (hopefully) watch them as well. Even if there are no frogs singing tonight, we'll still enjoy a night-time stroll rich with the sounds of the night and lit by the almost-full moon. Each participant will get to take home a CD of local frog "music."
Come dressed warmly, wear waterproof footwear, bring along a flashlight with fresh batteries, and be prepared to wait very quietly in the cool damp marsh.
We'll meet promptly at 5:30 PM at the Big Parking Lot uphill from Park Headquarters (former pool parking lot), and carpool/caravan to the start of a short SOGGY walk. Note that it is a bit over an hour’s drive from the park to this remote wild wetland in nearby Greene County.
