Gads sppeavy, same here in my
" niche " of the world ( Kansas ). Reading other field reports including other web-sites, it's like Kansas has movement of herps way before other states in all species or at least numbers. What I find amazing is other places, west Texas for example as to my other field collecting state , hasn't been reported in. AND we have been warmer some what but not that much. It could be a lack of herpers going out yet in other regions. By all reports of our state, there has been observation of thousands ( include the ringnecks here though , LOL ! ) herps already out. I also think that the weather system that we have encountered recently has a lot to do with what we have seen out. What do some of you all think....................
