Had a similar situation at the vernal pool we monitor here in SW Ohio. One night we had spotted salamanders, spring peepers, A.toad. and leopard frogs all calling/mating in the pool on the same night. Strange year indeed. I've never even seen leopard frogs at this pool because I think they show up after we're done with salamander monitoring normally.

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.
