>with the new "Calls of the Wild - Vocalizations of Georgia's Frogs"
>Compact Disk produced by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,
>Wildlife Resources Division (DNR/WRD) with the help of Georgia frog
>expert and talented nature recording artist Walter Knapp. Presenting

>bullfrog, the sheep-like buzzing of the Eastern narrowmouth toad, or the
>vomiting sound of the spadefoot, every species has a distinct,
>individual call. The CD has separate recordings of every native
>species, as well as a non-native species from the Caribbean, the
>greenhouse frog, that has become established in several areas of
>southern Georgia. Additionally, over 20 minutes of mixed species
>choruses are included that can be listened to as peaceful and natural
>background music or can be used to test your ability to identify
>individual species mixed within others. Informative narration is
>provided for each of the individual species' recordings, and a 15-page
>booklet loaded with information including natural history, range maps
>and physical characteristics for each species accompanies the CD.
