Wood Frogs 
Fox Sparrows singing gloriously all about the 
house in the early morning and again just before sunset, 
one following another in quick succession so that the sound 
of their rich voices was almost perfectly continuous for 
minutes at a time. Occasionally one would break in on 
another but this was not usual. It was a treat to hear 
them to such advantage as I sat in my arm-chair by the fire. 
It was not necessary to open a window to get the entire 
song. Many of them sang on the ground , in the intervals of 
feeding at the se.ed bed on the front banking. There were 
16 there at once. 
Returning from Ball’s Hill at 5 P. M., I was 
surprised to hear a number of Wood Frogs in full cry in 
the pool at the foot of the orchard slope although fully 
two-thirds of it is still en cased in thick winter ice.
