[tn-bird] Re: Memphis sounds


There's only one problem - the Wood Frog is not found in West Tennessee.
It occurs across the eastern part of the state westward to about Dickson
County just west of Nashville so she would not have heard that one in
Shelby County.  I'm not sure what she could have heard, I can't think of
any other birds which sound like what she desribed and off the top of my
head I can't think of any frogs either but I need to get out my frog tape
to refresh my memory.

Charlie, are there any other frogs that we would have over here in West TN
that sound anything like a Wood Frog?

Thanks,

Hi Linda and others,

Wood Frogs sound a lot like ducks with a sore throat.  You'd
recognize them by the reddish-brown color and dark mask.  Males are
only about as big as an adult American Toad; females can get almost
as big as a Green Frog.  They generally only call this time of year.
