I've been doing the Frogwatch program for about 4 years now...maybe 6.
Pretty interesting passtime. Sort of makes the coming of Spring interesting...a transition form skiing to watching.
I think I heard about is on NPR and looked into it from there.
If you are interested...if the sound of the Spring Peepers interests you...here's the website.

I have a link to a Univ of Kentucky web site that has all the "calls" of the various frogs you might hear in your local swamp.

I'm lucky in that there's a small swamp in my neighbor's yard...so I get the peepers, the wood frogs, and other tree frogs from spring through fall. I just sit on the back deck and give a listen...and log the info in of the Frogwatch site.
With temps like this...it won't be long.
