When you realize that the destruction of Dry Pond Swamp cut the
population of Northern Cricket Frogs down here by probably far more than
all of those in MN it puts things in perspective. You'd probably enjoy
recording them down here, where a single site can have hundreds, if not
thousands. They can form the steady background behind other frogs. They
are in no danger here, a very common frog.
It's actually more difficult here to record just a few calling. They
tend to call in mass.
We also have the Southern Cricket Frog here. Longer legs, comes in
endless color patterns. Call is slightly different. They are also to be
found in huge numbers.
