Mr. Stewart,
Awesome stuff! I love that frog (although I'll never come across one).
Fantastic recording, I really like the info/list format.
The recording was done very professionally (of course).
The habit/description sounds just divine.
I rarely come across Ponds/marshes AND Pine trees in New York State.
Best regards,
-Al
