In MN we have 1 pond left in the state with Northern Cricket Frogs.=20
This year there was ten times more of them calling than last year.  I
recorded about 12 frogs calling.  If you want sound of our population
I am happy to share.  I have not seen our states genetics report yet
as they are still trying to get off the hook of protecting this pond
if the population is not native.  Being in a suburban area of a large
city near barge traffic it is possible that they are not native.
