Dying for powder

By MOLLY ABSOLON Sometimes you hear a crack or a roar. More often the first sign is snow shifting around your feet.

If you’re lucky, you live through it, plastered with snow; if not, you’re entombed, hurtled over a cliff, killed. There have been 36 avalanche fatalities in the United States this winter, a streak of avalanche deaths not seen since 1918.

Local signs of spring emerge: Frogs, flowers, herons and maybe falcon eggs

On this St. Patrick’s Day, the pipes aren’t all that are calling. So are frogs in local wetlands. You’ll hear them when the day is warm enough, especially the chirping of the tiny spring peepers and the washboard sound of chorus frogs. Nolan Bielinski got to wondering if frogs and toads limit their calls when they’re surrounded by city noises. So, for his doctoral research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, he took recorded sounds into wet areas in the Indiana Dunes National Park and around the Chicago area, according to the Great Lakes Research and Education Center.
