Ha! Laughing out loud here, Guy. Those beautiful rascals can surround you by the dozens, wonking maniacs all, and somehow remain invisible. :) But once one reveals himself, the others seem to present themselves for modeling. Great job; great post. I'm so glad you decided to head back out and...

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap091014.html Jim and I talked about spending an evening together with our scopes under the stars, enjoying a shared passion. I'm so sad now this never happened. My condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Mr. Ungehajer.

Alfalfa, I think Tindeck is a site designed for musicians to display their original work. I'm guessing copyrights are still in effect. That "whip" noise yer hearing in the recording might be me ... but I doubt it. Often times something curious will drift by, sniff my gear, pee on it...

I recorded this tonight (May 16) near the Bear Swamp in Cumberland County. It's edited down from an hour-length take. The bog is quite spectacular. The first sound you'll hear on the file should be a Green Frog (gulp!) and then the trill of the Northern Gray Tree Frog. There was one peeper...

Bit of a test here ... sorry. I've been looking into a way to link to some of my field recording/audio files so I don't have to bother Guy to upload them to the forum. We'll see if this works.

I tend to enjoy the pine barrens on two levels. Often I'm seduced by, and can lose myself within, their simplistic appearance, which seems to suggest infinite sameness. But the ultimate pleasure comes through discovering the infinite diversity our pine barrens have to offer. You've captured...

Belleplain State Forest The return of the Pine Barrens tree frog drew my focus tonight ... plus a single leopard. But there was quite a diverse symphony going on (happily recorded by yers truly) in the bog-abouts of Belleplain State Forest, providing some of the best music these ears have...

Well. I was bogged down on Monday evening, and missed the festivities. Drat. But, somehow, a pair of chicken wings from the event made it to my intestines. Not being sure if these were donated, or swiped, I'd like to thank Largo and Ed for the either knowing or unknowing contributions. Also...

from honks to wonks Revisted a bog this evening which had been revisited the night before, both near dusk. Last eve's occurred just before an approaching storm. The bog has shown promise in years past, but a unique array painted Sunday's sound spectrum. Peepers, leopards, carpenters...

"Frogs have been living on this planet for more than 250 million years, and over the centuries, evolved into some of the most wondrous and diverse creatures on earth. Today, however, all their remarkable adaptations and survival tactics are failing them. Recent discoveries are startling: more...

The most recent Froggie Expedition Evening (FREE) was a rather laid back affair taking place at the still-flooded gravel pit in Belleplain. Anyone awaiting maximum frog choral diversity, we learned, must be patient. It was pretty much a one-frog-species show again last night (albeit...

Went back to Belleplain last night (with fine company)... felt a little tired; trippy. Strange flashes of lightning all around. Millions of peepers screaming, encompassing, plus groveling unfindable leopards, the occasional northern gray, one lonely bullfrog. Raindrops kept falling, falling on...

The Toop. The Wading. The Skit. The trio is a lot to swallow in one day (with rain to wash it all down) ... but toss down some Snickage and a man can fly for miles.

I think you've got it, Alfie. The frog, soon after I snapped it, hopped out of the bog and up to a nearby fire hydrant, lifted a leg, and went!

Lots of listening and looking the past two nights -- Friendship bogs Saturday, and a small pond and surroundings down my way (near Millvillle) this evening. Reporting: Whippoorbill heard his first whippoorwill. Mercury (rare) and Venus (splendid) are dancing at sunset. Friendship is still...
