The Mountain chorus frog is a winter frog in Georgia, done calling by
March. Pickerel frog is also a early caller, though some might still
be calling. Eastern narrowmouth toad is late spring into summer,
particularily after rains. Probably some calling in Georgia now.
Mountain chorus frog and Eastern narrowmouth toad like small water,
puddles, ditches, such like. Pickerel frogs like medium size ponds
best.
Easy way to find out what's calling is to get out there. From dark to
about midnight is best for the majority of species. You should find
treefrogs calling by now. Chorus frogs in general are done. Ranids
vary, but some will be calling. Some toads will be calling.
