Pretty amazing to find a snake in January.  Although to hear a frog is not 
quite as unusual, I was surprised this morning to hear a wood frog singing 
behind our house (10 am).  In past years (many), I have heard an 
occasional spring peeper making call notes in January (in fact every 
month), but this is the first (to my memory) wood frog I've heard in 
January.  I listened carefully to confirm what I was hearing; it repeated 
its call for a duration of several minutes and then stopped.  Also of note 
(bird info!), while I was out (~5 minutes), I heard a tufted titmouse 
repeating its spring (breeding) song.  My porch therm. (in shade) reading 
was 54.6 degrees F.
