Up Coming Event:
Big Night
Rain is in the forecast, the temperatures have warmed, the ice is melting which means one thing to wood frogs and mole salamanders. It means “Big Night” is about to occur. Big Night refers to a very special occasion that occurs at night in the early spring rain.
Curious? This is THE night the wood frogs and mole salamanders come out of hibernation and head to their birth pools to mate. This can be a dangerous journey for them, crossing busy roads, and moving past wild animals and our pets. The action and the woods come alive announcing that spring has come! Within two days the mating is over and these animals go back to their secretive underground homes. This is why we hardly see these animals throughout the rest of the year. It is cool just to stop and watch.
If you would like a unique experience, please come watch this natural phenomenon. Give me a call to get on our call list to join us for the evening. The number of people will need to be limited so we are not trampling the frogs and salamanders. We will most likely meet around 8:00 p.m., but we are on nature’s time so this event will be stand by. You will definitely need to dress warmly underneath with raingear, boots, umbrella and flashlight.
