Hehe Cheryl. The sad thing is, there is only one active area in the entire state of NY!!!! on Long Island. What about the main part of the state?
That's the way it is in Michigan as well. Used to be when you went in evening you could hear peepers all over. Now nary a one. The lepard frogs have all disappeared as have lots of toads. Every once in a while I get one at my pond, but that's pretty rare.
