Reposted from a previous report, now with better photos. It was spotted swimming across shallow water in the marsh, landing on a small island of vegetation, which it climbed to the top of and regularly let out paired sets of high pitched squeals.

A couple moments earlier, they copulated - at this tree. <3. This was our third consecutive week with temps in the 70s. Dogwood, cherry trees and daffodils have been blooming. Today, we saw three species of butterflies and heard Spring Peepers and Leopard Frogs too. Temperatures recorded 4 days later at Norfolk International Airport reached 81 degrees and broke the all-time record for Feb. 23, according to the National Weather Service.
