Where are all the frogs?

Green frog cf
   Marsh Warden Stiles Thomas called today to ask if I have noticed any drop in the Celery Farm frog population. He said that most summers, he hears or sees a frog jump every few feet along the Allendale Brook, but this year he has seen or heard very few.
   My wife and I have noticed a similar decline along the brook, and though we hear an occasional bullfrog, it seems not as noisy as years past.
   What have you noticed this year, frog-wise, and do you have any idea why it might be?
    Do you know of anyone who does annual frog counts at the Celery Farm?
    E-mail me and I will post the results of this informal survey and any information I might pass along.

    Hello to Celery Farm fans. I am planning a walk with a group from the Unitarian Society next spring to observe the turtles during mating season. I happened upon this event last year: “Turtles’ Rite of Spring”, and watched a frenzy of activity. One problem: I can’t remember which week of May (June?) I observed the activity. Might anyone know the peak week at the Celery Farm to see this activity? Any help here would be appreciated. N. Forrest nforr77777@aol.com.
