You can think of it as an all-male-frog chorus serenading the female frogs.Frog chorus The annual launch for amphibious reproduction is underway at a vernal pool near you.

You can find vernal pools in wooded wetland habitats at the Cleveland Metroparks or near the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.
Calabrese said the absence of non-native earthworms allows for thriving populations of prey, like those invertebrates, for salamanders to eat. Salamander migration is also underway. Because of their secretive nature and tunneling underground, salamanders are seldom seen except for in early spring. They migrate in large numbers to vernal pools.
Calabrese said last Friday there was an explosion of amphibian activity, particularly among the wood frog. He suggests listening for their soft, duck-like barking. He said as of last week, many egg masses are now submerged in vernal pools with embryo development underway.
