WOODS, WATER AND WILDLIFE by Ron Reid - Federation of Onlario Naturalists May js the month of the frog's serenade. When the warm spring rains fill the weedy ponds with renewed life, tlie swamps and marshes seem lo overflow with exuberance exuberance of the mating calls of amphibians. Chorus frogs call out their "pr-r-reep, pr- reep"; wood frogs softly chime in their quacking notes, bullfrogs add a hearty- base "jug-o-rum"; and above it all, the shrill whistling whistling of the spring peepers jingles and tinkles away. The song of the spring peeper, which can be heard up to a mile away; is a big voice for a small package. An adult spring peeper is only about one inch long, barely larger than your thumbnail. The chorus of peepers is an all-male group; the female peepers arc silently hopping through the underbrush to respond to this love call. The peeper's song is bagpipe music. Frogs "sing" Local employment conditions Oshawa Centre -I lie- , number of clients unemployed and registered for work at the Canada Employment Centres in Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa for the month of April totalled totalled 19,051, consisting of 7,848 female and 11,203 male clients. ■ Placements in the three offices offices totalled 704 for the month, which compares to a total of 386 placements during during March.

In April, there was one with their vocal cords, in much the same way as humans. However, a frog has a special advantage, in the form of an expandable throat pouch that can be inflated«in- to a balloon almost as large as the frog itself. As the peeper flexes its muscles,, h swishes air from the throat through the vocal cords into its lungs, and then back again to create double the music. Spring peepers are one of the earliest frogs- to migrate to the spring ponds. To protect protect their eggs from sudden cold spells, they lay eggs singly, singly, dropping up to 1000 from each female unit) the pond floor. The floating niasses or strips of eggs laid by other frogs are more vulnerable to cold. Peeper eggs develop rapidly, and within three months the young of thé.year have left their weedy.ponds. Disguised by their drab colouring, colouring, and by an indistinct X mark across the back, those adults spend the rest of I heir lives hidden amollit the . bushes and leaves of a moist forest.
