As you can see from the photo above, the Spring Peeper has a fully extended vocal sac for calling, but as Wes came in closer, it began to retract.

Last night Wes was able to trek into the woods and capture this fantastic video of a Spring Peeper calling.
Also at Harris Lake in North Carolina are Painted Turtles.
