The long pauses between calls also fits the toad. The only other N.S. amphibian with a trill is the Pickerel Frog, but its call is old held out for a short time and then repeated after a substantial lull.

It's more like a trill, with frequent pauses lasting several seconds in between. I've listened to a number of frog calls on the internet, but so far none sound like what I'm hearing from our pond. Any suggestions as to what I should look for?
