Mine is certainly getting used plenty.

Georgia has 31 species of frogs that have to be somewhere. Florida is
not far behind. Yep, pretty normal.
Most I've recorded, in the survey work, was 8 species. Where you use a
parabolic just to bring out each species from the general din.
Average is 4 or so. It's actually harder to find single species water.
At my place tonight: Bullfrog, Cope's Gray Treefrogs, Spring Peepers,
American Toads, Green Frog, Upland Chorus Frog, and a couple bits from
the Southern Leopards.
The spot you recorded had fish. Far more frogs are to be found in
fishless waters.

How about a Rail? I'm not too good with birds.
