The last few warm, sunny days have definitely brought out all sorts of things at the garden (and elsewhere).

This afternoon, wood frogs were calling from the pond, not many, and not vigorously, but calling nonetheless. These are the frogs that sound like quacking ducks! I'm attaching a photo I took today at another location, as I wasn't able to get one at FWG. Around the Ottawa area, chorus frogs (sound like someone running a thumb over a comb), spring peepers (as the name suggests, the make a "peeping" sound), wood frogs, and the occasional, and very early, leopard frog (sounds like someone snoring), can all be heard. I first heard chorus frogs two weeks ago in the west end of Ottawa. They were calling from a pond still largely covered in ice.
