Walt,

When you were over this way in 2005 you showed me some frog range maps on
your Epsom hand-held viewer. Where did you Aguirre those rang maps from?

They would be very handy for this years work, I'm trying to also find some
similar for bats too...

I can't help you for the Pacific NW, Georgia I could... As in there are
frogs calling now and various species will be until August or so.
Different species at different times. Right now it's primarily Wood
Frogs, Spring Peepers, Upland Chorus Frogs, sometimes Southern Leopard
Frogs. At least in my part of the state. More in other parts of the state.

The timing is very climate dependent, so lots of variation. Most frogs
will call during their season based on current weather. Some only call
after rain.

I've not investigated this site but it might be a starting place for
finding the data for Washington or at least contacts that might know:

Here's a links page that will get you to other state's herp pages:

The Kansas site where this link is based does have the data on each
species for Kansas.

Here's another page for links:
