3. They're mating
What you hear is the male mating call. they don't start until the water is a certain temperature.
It'll likely go on a week or two, depending on where you live.

Unfortunately, this thread title is begging for a copycat. (But I'm not going to be the one to do it.)

10. I've been hearing them for the past week in Maryland.
A lovely spring chorus as I walk my dog (or he runs through the woods as I trudge along) at dawn and dusk.
