The last couple of days there have been increasing amounts of spermatophores in the vernal pools. We had more rain today, I hiked up at around 11am to the pool in the pouring rain to check, and couldn't see anything. We went back at 8pm and sure enough there were a couple dozen in the pool! Lots of Spring Peepers calling. It is so exhilarating to be out in nature when it is pitch black. When there is little noise, no planes flying over, no other people. We walked most of the way with out light. A light drizzly snow was falling. Temps were 39 degrees. Most of today was in the 40s.
