Jim,

I'm no expert on frogs, but I'd say they sounded more duck-like. This is
extremely early for frogs and a bit early for Galanthus. Robins tend to
show up at any old time.

Frogs already?

Could you tell if they were spring peepers (alone a high pitched whistle
or en masse like sleigh bells ) or wood frogs (like ducks quacking or dogs
barking in the distance)? Or maybe chorus frogs or cricket frogs?
