frog and toad calls
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: http://www.lifesci.utexas.edu/resear...ogs/calls.html A nice site for Florida, the sounds may help even if the ranges don't extend to Texas: http://www.wec.ufl.edu/extension/frogs/# And a link to several commercial CDs/cassettes with other central/eastern US species, many of which will still be found where you a http://www.naturesound.com/guides/pages/frogs.html http://www.angelfire.com/ks/heritagephoto/frog.html http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...24865?v=glance 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, Tim |

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.
