The Spring Peeper – sometimes called ‘pinkletinks’ is a small amphibian native to North America. They have a body length between 1-1.5 inches (25-38 mm) These frogs feed on small insects such as ants, flies and spiders. As their name implies, the Spring Peeper has a high-pitched call similar to that of a newly born chicken, only much louder and rising slightly in tone. They can be tan or gray or dark brown, but they all have a dark “X” on their backs. They’re heard earlier in spring not long after the ice melts in the forests and are among the first frogs to call in the spring. Spring Peppers are mostly nocturnal frogs, hiding from their many predators during the day and emerging at night to feed on various small insects like beetles, ants, flies, and spiders.

The Spring Peeper was completed on 12.2.10. I recall trying to locate these little frogs in northern Minnesota. I came to a clearing with a large puddle in it with dozens – perhaps hundreds on them in it. But as I got closer, the frogs fell silent. Rummaging around in the puddle I didn’t find a one. The drawing is based on a photo by Rob Denton.
