Default frog and toad calls

Tim - Thanks for the links and the suggestion! I will do
that when weather warms up again and I can hear them. They
are quite active (and I assume it's the little green frogs
I'm hearing) on warm nights so this might well help.

Hi Gail,

Often the easiest way to identify a frog or toad is by its

call, although
when several species are present it's sometimes hard to

tell which one made
which call, since they stop when you catch them or get

close! Here's a
link to Texas frog and toad calls:

A nice site for Florida, the sounds may help even if the

ranges don't extend
to Texas:

And a link to several commercial CDs/cassettes with other

central/eastern US
species, many of which will still be found where you a

You may have to wait until it warms up a bit to hear their

calls, although
late February/early March where you are may start the

breeding season for
many species.

Happy Ponding,
