I have no trouble recording frogs because they are so loud. Next to the Pac=
ifica Skate Park, even though it's only 100 meters from highway one. The Sa=
n Pedro valley park has pretty good wildlife sounds. Noise from the highway=
is very low as you get farther from the highway. I have seen all of the wi=
ldlife that there is on the peninsula. Deer, bobcats, mountain lions, grey =
fox, red fox, skunk ...

was March 20th to April 16th. Typically, the Peepers would make their first=
