The key word there being 'water'! The ponds have to thaw out around the
edges before the wood frogs magically appear....and that hasn't happened
yet. Once that first real thaw happens, they seem pretty tolerant of
occasional overnight re-freezing.

I was totally awed by the variety of calls in those Georgia nightlife and
subsequent samples. Around here it's wood frog &/or chorus frog (our one
toad species doesn't seem to advertise). Makes for pretty simple inventory
work!
