The spring brings out one of the best sounds in the Pacific Northwest, The =
Pacific Chorus frog. This is a recording late last night along a favorite a=
rea of mine called =93Stossel Creek=94
The habitat is ponds and marshes with pine trees surrounding the edges. Las=
t night started out clear but the clouds formed to bring a lot of precipita=
tion. Just before the rains I managed to capture these choruses. With the a=
ccompanying illustration you can see the sonogram of the calling from the f=
rogs. Notice how rhythmic it all is until they all at once decide to lower =
their volume. At the end of the recording they all suddenly stop calling in=
synchronization. Maybe because of predators, maybe because They knew I was=
out there recording their amazing vocals. In anyway, Please enjoy these so=
unds of the Pacific Northwest and its local inhabitants.
