@chiroptera thank you!!
I feel like this might be a question for @danmccullough ? :)
@idzie Wow, that’s a great chorus you got to hear. It’s tough, there are a number of them and the calls are so continuous! 😅 My best guess is maybe a Northern Leopard Frog. The chorus has that sort of low, snoring refrain. There’s also a chance that these are American Toads, congregating for mating season. If you get back there is be curious if you to see some egg masses! 🤗
@danmccullough @idzie I definitely think I'm hearing the same note as the American Toads that call in my yard!
@8ofpentacles @danmccullough oh that's good to hear thank you, I love American toads but never knew they made sounds like that!!
@danmccullough thank you, I very much appreciate your expert opinion. 😊 It was such a cool, eerie sound drifting through the woods! That's interesting, I see a LOT of toads out there (it's part of "my" patch I walk often), and though I've never seen leopard frogs, I usually stop spending as much time there when all the poison ivy comes up, so I could just have missed the later season frogs in the past. I will keep my eye out for egg masses or adults of both species!
