You gotta love the sound of the calls...or go nuts if the pond is near
your house. Our toads sound like crickets on speed. The green tree frogs are much louder and intrusive. The other frogs are more 'traditional' croakers. We are so used to it that they are background noise to us. Guests don't always take that view! Enjoy them.

Once a male starts singing, other males and females come. We find the
males get there first and try to intimidate one another. Gives the ladies a better selection!

There is a string of eggs amongst the Parrot Feather so interested to see if the female shows up again or if it's a one time affair, leaving the other males to be singing the blues tonight. http://arrow-pestcontrol.com/tdegg2.JPG http://arrow-pestcontrol.com/tdegg3.JPG http://arrow-pestcontrol.com/tdegg1.JPG -- Lar to email....get rid of the BUGS |
