"Nature, in these climes, chooses her vocalists from more humble performers than in Europe. A small frog, of the genus Hyla, sits on a blade of grass about an inch above the surface of the water, and send forth a pleasing chirp; when several are together they sing in harmony on different notes." Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle

| Mating frogs at camp 41 of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project. Not sure of the species. Several would gather in our PVC drainage pipes and call. No, it wasn't pleasant.

Running in the Relay-4-Heat today. I should say walking though. Out of shape with no training. Bringing the camera and should get some good shots of birds- I hope.
Son's 17th birthday. Miss him terribly.
