Or the Pickerel Frog
http://wwknapp.home.mindspring.com/mp3s/Pickerel.Frog.mp3

Several other good ones:
Barking Treefrog

Fowler's Toad

Pine Woods Treefrog

Southern Leopard Frog
http://wwknapp.home.mindspring.com/mp3s/Southern.Leopard.Frog.mp3
Southern Toad
http://wwknapp.home.mindspring.com/mp3s/Southern.Toad.mp3
