did you hear that? - Lee M-S - 01-12-2016
the sound of quiet coquis all last night!
My husband said he found several dead ones, too. Guess they don't do so well in cold and dry.
edited to add: We're at 1500 ft elevation. YMMV

Happens every winter. We are in winter, that was what the winter solstice was about. The coqui stop croaking completely at 59 F. It has been getting chilly at night, low 60's around Pahoa. They probably die somewhere below that, kind of miserable creatures, try to cross cement, can't take the lime on their skin, they die, get on the carpet, carpet sucks too much moisture from their skin, they die before crossing.

yep... First I thought, must be a big quake about to hit. Nope, it's just COLD outside.

All I could hear was my teeth chattering way up mauka last night.

A few nights ago my weather station recorded a low of 52 degrees F here in Eden Roc. Last night's low was 54 degrees.

Little bit envious of your home weather station gadgetry. I don't know what the low was up here last night. Felt like it was chilling down in waves. Imagined I almost detected a faint scent reminiscent of snow when I briefly stepped outside late last night.

When the blankets come out, the coquis don't!

64 degrees seems to be the magic number in Leilani.
