Hi Folks: 
 
Spring Peepers appear to have disappeared from many areas in southeastern Wisconsin. April is ideal for road cruising for calling frogs and recording them with Herpmapper (download and install free app in app store, and create an account). By using a smartphone with Herpmapper you can automatically record calls and upload them, making them available to land trusts, researchers, and DNR programs with little effort on your part. 
 
With Herpmapper in your pocket, you can photo or record any herps anytime and upload records in the field, or later at home via wifi connections (convenient for editing before uploading). 
 
Help us see if the Peeper decline is real - fill in the gaps on this map! Please maintain your social distancing and be safe. 
 
A good place to learn the calls is here:
