http://mdc.mo.gov/ • The Missouri Department of Conservation wants to help you to discover nature and listen to the spring time call of frogs. • You may look for a robin as a sign of spring, but the voices of frogs signal warmer days. • Springtime is when you start hearing frogs because they’ve woken up from hibernation, and they find the breeding ponds and they want to mate and be successful. • So the males get to those breeding ponds and start to call out trying to attract females. • Southern leopard frogs call is a series of abrupt, chuckle like “quacking” sounds. • The mating call of the inch-long northern cricket frog sounds like pebbles being clicked together. • If you hear a loud, deep call coming from the edge of a pond, you are probably hearing a bullfrog. • Many other frogs sound off in spring, and their chorus is a natural part of the outdoors. • To listen to this symphony, head outside before sunset on a warm spring evening. • Who knows what you’ll discover.
