"When peepers sing..."

Hello,
Can anyone tell me anything about this phrase? I am wondering what kind of bird they mean and the origin of the saying...

"When peepers sing loud and long and late, the weather will cooperate."

Thank you!
Lorie

I'll look and see if I can find this one under weather-related sayings. One thing I am wondering about is whether "peepers" refers to birds or crickets.
