Footbridge in Spring

This place is already teeming with life. At night you can hear spring peepers singing so loud it's almost deafening. Also for the first time since we have lived here, we hear toads singing! Maybe that's a good sign? I used to hear toads singing in Georgia along with the spring peepers but up here I never heard them until this year! I love hearing them call, it's really a comforting sound and reminds me of my childhood, now if we just could get Whippoorwills around here, it really would remind me of my childhood! The other night while watching the Lyrid meteor shower, (which by the way, as far as I could tell, was a dud, sometimes they aren't but this year they were, lol) I heard a Great Horned Owl calling nearby. I love it out here and I hope it never changes. The more wildlife the better. There's a silver lining to the economic situation we're in...no more housing developments for right now and I pray it stays that way! Give wildlife a chance!!
