I heard the Leopard frogs and saw some 12 painted turtles at the pond which is near the vernal pools I've been visiting. Only 1 wood frog and not much for egg masses at the vernal pool and I did find only 2 female spotted salamanders but saw very few spotted eggs in the vernal pool. Lots of green frogs but all was very quiet with no peepers.

I had the same experience with the Leopard Frogs here in Warwick NY, along with some A.Toads at the same pond. At the VP I monitor, the WFs didn't lay eggs but have stopped calling as well. Global change is upon us.
