Nice coyote recording, but I'd be very surprised if that was a bullfrog. It
sounds nothing like the booming JUG-O-RUM call that I've heard bullfrogs
make. The consistant timing seems amphibian-like, but the tone of the call
actually sounds somewhat like the low quack of a drake Gadwall duck.
Other birds I heard were Western grebe, Killdeer and Eared Grebe. The
western grebes seem to be the most prominent and react to the increasing
coyote noise.
odd coincidence that I just listened to that recording with my window open,
and now there are coyotes howling outside!

This coyote chorus was recorded about an hour before sunrise at a
remote wetland location in Lake County Oregon. Recorded with a SD-702
and NT1A mics. The sounds were fairly distant: I used 60dB gain
setting on the 702 plus 42dB amplification in post to bring it up to
an interesting level for listening. I also put a little eq on the
high end, rolling off about 2dB/octave above 800Hz.
