Index of Subjects I don't chase reptiles and amphibians the way I used to, but leopard frogs down here in God's country used to be fairly common. Haven't seen one since I came back in 2004. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Jim Wolford Sent: May 12, 2018 2:23 AM To: naturens Cc: nancydowd318 Subject: [NatureNS] re toads calling etc. at Miner's Marsh, Kentville Thanks, Nancy, for the feedback. I have only once ever heard a pickerel frog, but the impression I recall is that the speed of the snore in the pickerel frog is very fast compared with that of the leopard frog, which I hear every year here in the Wolfville area. But now I am profoundly deaf, so there is a lot of nature that cannot be appreciated by my ears any more. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

I guessed the frogs I heard snoring in a cattail marsh the other day were Pickerels b/c they only snored, none of the clucking and other sounds I usually hear N Leopard Frogs make along with their snarls/snores.

We heard several American toads calling/trilling, and I heard a snoring leopard frog as well (letter also heard there last week). Canada goose still on nest, one sora rail calling, two pied-billed grebes were calling and one seen, one female red-winged blackbird was collecting nest-material, several tree swallows were flying and entering/leaving nest-boxes. >> >> Cheers from Jim in Wolfville. >> >
