It was 65, sunny and beautiful here an hour ago. Just about ready to finally get outside, and it is now cloudy and rainy again!
Ed takes the prize this year! I tried to hear the peeps last week when it hit almost 70.went out that night but the temps were dropping fast toward the 30's but were holding the low 50's when i hit the woods.no peepes last week at least not in my usualy peeper spots.They are about two to three weeks early this year.I may hear them tonight on the way to work if i ride with the winders down but i doubt it.I don't pass the good spots on the way to work.

Good for you, Ed! Yours are ahead of ours.
I heard our first peeper this evening -- a loner doing a solo attempt even though it was chilly (50 degrees) -- and a few short trills from an American toad who seemed to have trouble warming up. Spring at last!

lower forge
i camped at lower forge 2 days ago. i heard sounds i never heard before. sounded like a wolf or dog?, but different. my dog did not react to the sound which it makes me think it was not a canine.

I was out on the Webbs Mill Branch today and heard one lone peeper, I thought for sure I would hear more towards the end of the day but I didn't. With tomorrows forecast the peepers should be singing.

I have heard loons but never around nj.They could sound like a howl but their more of a lake bird,definitely not a barrens bird.
Barred owls have a kind of monkey laugh/howl???could it be that?
coyote comes to mind but your right,your dog probably would've went off his rocker.

Barn owl does kind of a screechy schreeee
loons stick to salt water down here, and migrate up the coast to north woods lakes
their call is kind of a haunting yodel
