The next frog to start calling is Spring Peepers.  These relatives of the Chorus Frog will call throughout the day and night.  Their call consists of a single, upslurred whistle, but a chorus of them can be deafening.  Click on the habitat picture below for the songs of peepers.  That's a lot of noise from something less than an inch long!  Peepers are found in more varied habitats than Chorus Frogs and during the early spring they seem to be everywhere.  Once the summer begins their songs will become much less frequent, although if you listen carefully you will hear a few individual males singing throughout the summer and fall.
    Salamanders also begin to come out in numbers.  Blue-spotted, Jefferson, Spotted, and Red-spotted Newts are large, memorable salamanders that breed in the spring.  Mating congresses can consist of hundreds of individuals, although much more commonly breeding populations are of a dozen individuals or less.  The habitat shown below holds breeding Red-spotted Newts, Spring Peepers, and Wood Frogs, among others.  The surrounding woods is prime habitat for Spotted Salamanders, although they breed in smaller pools.
