Very interesting article, Kirk. Thanks for posting the link. Yours are, indeed larger, and louder than ours, but I was also interested to read the several ways in which they are similar to the Northern Spring Peeper.

Does sound like you have a perfect place for frogs. What amazes me about my popluations is that the closest water is a very small creek at the bottom of a fairly steep hill probably 400 or more feet from my garden. It must be where all the amphibions go to lay eggs, but I have to wonder how they manage to get up that hill, being so small and the creek banks are practically vertical and about 10' high. Just goes to show what a teeny critter is capable of. I always have scads of toads in the garden, ranging in size from about nickle to tennis ball.
