Witter Lane at night
I have observed frogs calling a couple of times during the day, but have not taken the time and challenge (people watch when I drive this road in daylight. What will the response be after dark?) of listening at a more normal time for frog calls. Tonight I was returning home from an art show opening and detoured for about 30 minutes to see what might be calling, even with the chilly wind.
I heard Blanchard's Cricket Frogs calling from two of the many wet-weather ponds on this short stretch of rural road. They called at a CI = 2 in both spots.
It was a clear night with a gentle breeze and air temp of 62.
In one recording I stopped the car, but did not turn off the engine. In the second I stopped completely.
Cows and dogs can be heard in the background.
A warmer night might have resulted in more varieties of frogs calling. I will attempt this again.

I monitor this area each day, but this is the first time I have monitored in the evening.

First time monitoring ponds on Witter Lane at night. I only have "road" access. I cannot enter any property.
