Now that it’s warmer, live outdoor concerts are happening every night at the Linnean and Broad Branch streams.
The spring peepers and American toads were chirping away last Wednesday evening. I spotted many toads mating at the Broad Branch but it was too dark to capture any photos. But on my way home, I found this one positioned perfectly under a street light.
On a visit to the streams earlier that day, I saw my first frog of the season… though it did not want to be seen.

And this mallard couple was hanging out at the Linnean stream.
