On spring's 'Big Night,' frogs and salamanders brave New England's busy streets

After a long and frigid winter, the sound of spring peepers singing from beaver bogs is a welcome one for New Englanders. But before frogs can start their songs, a massive migration has to take place. On a handful of spring nights, millions of amphibians mobilize all at once.
The article from WBUR discusses the annual migration of salamanders and frogs in New England, which typically occurs during the first warm, rainy nights of spring. This year, the migration has been particularly notable due to favorable weather conditions, leading to increased sightings and efforts to protect these amphibians. Conservationists and volunteers are actively involved in monitoring migration routes, setting up temporary barriers to guide the animals safely across roads, and educating the public about the importance of these species to the ecosystem. The article highlights specific locations where migration is intense, such as the Blue Hills Reservation in Massachusetts, and emphasizes the need for community involvement to ensure the survival of these vulnerable populations.
