Approximately 40+ wood frogs, Rana sylvatica, could be heard calling in our man-made wetland on a sunny and warm afternoon yesterday. One of the first frogs to breed in early spring, this lovely chorus could be heard loud and clear from the Conservancy Visitor Center.

Check out this site with more information about the wood frog. Make sure to read all the way to the bottom to learn how this amphibian has "perfected the cryogenic freezing process". Way Cool!!
