Sounds that animals make when they are not breeding can be different
from breeding sounds. They are often neglected as it's easier to get the
breeding sounds.
Note also that birds do breed in the South too, including species that
don't breed in the north. With a much longer season when something is
breeding. A bunch of birds calling outside right now. Though probably no
breeding ones. We have both birds that migrated here for the winter from
the north and birds that are always here.
With frogs here, it's a year round breeding season, there were frogs
calling outside last night. We have a lot more species of frogs here
than the north does.
