Western Chorus Frog
June, 2001- Du Page Co. IL
See my photos of this species
Choruses of these frogs can be heard on warm days in spring. Their call sounds
sort of like when you run your finger down a comb. I came upon a group that was calling one warm day, and walked into
the middle of where they were calling from. After a few minutes of silence, the frogs became accustomed to my presence,
and began calling. The noise was deafening, and I had a ringing in my ears for hours after I left.
