Default Observing Western Chorus Frogs in Colorado?

I read that the western chorus frog lives in most of Colorado. I
would like to observe one, but so far I have had no luck. Would
anyone know of any specific lakes or ponds in Colorado where one such
frog has been spotted lately? Thanks

Default Observing Western Chorus Frogs in Colorado?


Chorus frogs are best observed at mating time. They are darned hard to find
other times of the year.
I would expect that frogs in the lowland areas will be mating before frogs in
higher elevations.
Try a google search. There are sound files of their calls in a lot of sites so
you know what to listen for. And check if Colorado has a native amphibian page,
our state posts maps of locations of all species of frogs. And someone
published a book of amphibians of WA and OR so you might search and see if
there is a like book available for Colorado.

Go to this site:
http://www.nwf.org/frogwatchUSA/

Scroll down the page to the map, click on your state. A column found on the
right will give you the names of the frogs found in that area, click on that
for a "bio" and its call. Interesting site . . .
