A True strange sintony between bird and frog

As promised in a my previous mail, I uploaded a file on Soundcloud
http://soundcloud.com/marco-pesente/frog-and-blackbird-duet
a true song duet between a Blackbird, Turdus merula, and a Green frog, Rana=
 esculenta.
The recording was obtained using two AT3032 in a stereo rig and a Sony D50.
I uploaded only a short part of the recording, but the thing is repeated fo=
r tens of minutes.
I suspect that the frog reacts to the song of the blackbird how it would re=
acts to any sound of loud intensity, because it happened to me to hear frog=
s singing as soon as it happens a loud noise such as a passing train or a p=
lane not far.
Is there some expert in amphibians, who may provide an explanation for this=
 phenomenon?
