I am teasing a little bit, but this one is serious. I'm getting all that
will listen to hear it just in case someone recognizes it.
Could be:
1-Some new import to the state. Unlikely, as they are way out in the
country. But I'm not ruling that out.
2-A hybrid. Then the question becomes what with what. Does not fit
unless maybe the Narrowmouth Toads found something to hybridize with,
which is highly unlikely.
3-A new species, not previously recognized. It's call is not very loud
at all, it's tough even for a experienced person to find one. Surveying
frogs by calls is a new area, so has turned up lots of new stuff. So,
this one is possible. This pool was right beside the road, but you could
not hear them from the road.
About all I'm pretty sure is it's not one of the 32 different calls I
know for Georgia. It sounds and behaves like a frog, and the sonogram
looks like a frog type call, but not having seen it I can't rule out
that it's something else.
