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?

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.
