to it. The narration is good and your recordings are really clean and a
pleasure to listen to. Living on the coast of British Columbia, our Tree
frogs start calling in January, but thats the only species I hear. I did
hear Wood Frogs as far north as the Northwest Territories last year.
This year I heard a Canadian Toad and it sounded somewhat like the
American Toad on your CD. Is it the overall warm climate or the effect
of the ice age that has concentrated so many amasing frogs in your area?
I think the Pig Frog is my favourite! You did a great job. Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you like it. There were points when I was ready to just
give up on it. A lot of work by a number of us, we were all relieved to
see it finally done.
Georgia is kind of a crossroads biologically too. We get a lot of
species that get into the state down the spine of the mountains, and
have both gulf coast and atlantic stuff.
I don't think it's ice age, plenty of time for these frogs to have
spread northward. I do think the warmer climate helps, long cold winters
are a real problem for something like a frog. Though some of them do
amazing things to cope.
The east coast is geologically much more stable than the west. So the
habitats have been unchanged for a long time.
Whatever reason they are all here, I like it. Never know exactly what
the next place will have.
Walt
