Re: What time of day and year do frogs and toads croak the most?

["Mark Phinney" badgreenbird]

Here at 56 N x 120 W, the frogs aren't even out yet...still no open water,
just lots of snow & ice. They'll start up in another few weeks...

Most frog & toad species worldwide (to my knowledge, anyway) are much more
vocal at night, so your best results will probably be after sundown...
