Wood frog

The “mask” under the eyes are a good spotting feature
The recording starts off with the pond in relative silence, just some individual peeps from the ubiquitous Spring Peeper. Then the Wood Frogs begin to call. There were dozens floating at the surface about 3-5 feet from the edge of the pond. Chorusing Wood Frogs are fun to watch as the males scoot across the surface like pinballs calling and investigating anything that is moving in the area!
Thanks – now I know what the woodland “quacker” is!

Your welcome! The Wood frogs are pretty unique in that they are often found some distance from standing water. Good luck spotting one in the woods!
