What a hike today! I can't believe how much fun I'm having this week! It has been hands down my best Herp week ever! Checked on the Red-shouldered nest. I couldn't see the female, but that doesn't mean she's not on eggs. I heard the male there a couple of days ago. Also saw a young beaver at the pond! I noticed sign at the end of the Winter but I wasn't sure if it had moved on already, it hasn't! Watched it for 10 minutes eating and grooming. While on my way to walk a dog I had a doe and fawn cross in front of my car. I was able to watch them for a few minutes.
At the very last minute we decided that it was the perfect night to get out and do my NAAMP frog monitoring. We left the house at 8:50pm. It was under 60 degrees and few frogs calling. One pond did have a lot of Bull and Green frogs. It was a beautiful night, sky full of stars and a half moon shining brightly. I hear Whip poor wills calling. I haven't heard them in decades. We arrived back home close to 11;30pm. One more count and I'm done for the year.
