In this episode of Biologica, we delve into the captivating phenomenon of "Big Night.” Citizen scientists and nature lovers gather to witness the awe-inspiring migration of amphibians to vernal pools; it’s a fleeting springtime spectacle driven by the perfect blend of darkness, rainfall, and warm nights. Join us as we explore the mysteries of Big Night through stories, live field recordings, and even poetry, touching upon the wonder of this natural ritual. With a special interview with Greg LeClair, the Executive Director of Maine Big Night, discover the collaborative spirit of those who come together to support and study amphibian life.
