Sitting on the north platform of the boardwalk, I could hear an odd sound coming from the marsh to the west. Not a bird, but another frog. The chorus frogs are still making their comb-thrumming calls. This frog's sound was like a cross between a snore and a grunt. Checking with other naturalists, we decided it was a green frog.
Another small frog, green frogs are only about 2-3" long, bright green with a white belly. The males' throats are yellow. They snack on grasshoppers, crickets, snails, slugs, and other invertebrates. It's not surprising that I heard this frog where I did since they prefer marshes and ponds. Now I'll just have to keep an eye out for one.
