Our first report of pinkletinks has arrived, the annual reminder that spring does exist.
Suzan Bellincampi said that she heard peeps Thursday evening at Felix Neck. “Just what I needed,” Bellincampi told The Times. “The best part about the foggy, cold day.”
She said she’s feeling “frog-tastic” now.
Pinkletink is the Island’s colloquial name for the small, brown frog commonly known as the spring peeper. These amphibians typically live near shrub swamps and around brushy pond edges.
The cry of the pinkletink is something Islanders look forward to annually
Thanks for letting us know that the pinkletinks have arrived, Suzan! We hope to hear them ourselves, and see other signs of spring on our precious island soon!
