| The
spring peeper is noted for the X mark on its back and small pads
on its toes. But more often than not, the X is an imperfect one.
The dorsal coloration can vary from gray to brown. Spring peepers
most often call where small trees or shrubs are surrounded by standing
water. Though these frogs are rarely seen other than during their
breeding season (winter and early spring in South Carolina and Georgia),
they are sometimes active in wooded areas just after a heavy rain.
