I thought she was talking about spring peepers....the little frogs?
We're on peeper watch here. It's been a short and mild winter so I'm hoping "Peeper Night" comes early. We keep a bottle of bubbly in the fridge this time of year to pop on the big night.

Hoping it's frogs and not chicks- hearing chicks peep for three days isn't good......

I've been hearing peepers for almost two weeks now! Not bragging, well, not much anyways.
Peepers & the Forsythia bushes blooming are a sure sign of an impending Spring! Got to enjoy those peepers before the noisy Katydids start their nightly summer audio-overload and drown everything else out.

peepers began to sing here five nights ago (I've been sitting out in the kidding barn, feeding bottle babies every night. I was SO EXCITED the other night when I realized I could hear them!)... we are about 12miles north of the AR/MO border on the MO. side..

Sorry, I've never heard of frogs referred to as peepers.

I have been hearing them since yesterday and didn't know what they were. I still don't really know. What exactly are these noise making critters?

I was under the impression that they were tiny frogs. Usually hear them near a water source during early spring. But heak, I've never actually SEEN one, for all I know, there could be a bunch of kitties out there with little squeaker toys just throwing a party.

The Red Wing Blackbirds are back around this neck of the woods now. No spring peepers yet!

I've been hearing them for several weeks and, in fact, heard an occasional solitary one off and on all winter.
It's been a very mild winter here (although it was just snowing a few minutes ago, not sticking, and now the sun is out!).
Everything is early for me. I've already had baby Muscovies hatch, the drakes are trying to kill each other, and a number of hens are trying to go broody.

We won't hear the tree frogs for a while up here, but I DID see a couple of trumpeter swans fly across one of my ponds today! that's usually our first sign of spring!
