I am sure on my walk last night I had 4 different vocals. The majority the deafening volume of peepers which is sometimes so loud that I want to cover my ears. Second is the trill probably made by the toad below which would make sense since it was coming from the field vs the pond. Third I would describe as an elastic band. The fourth I just know was different but will continue to listen for some more. In the summer of course the calls change of course. Also is there any reason why the peepers ignore distrubing noises or water splashes while most other frogs go silent?

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?
