| Southern toads-photos by D. Scott |
As I mentioned the other day we've been studying some of constructed wetlands on the SRS. One of the first goals was to see what species of amphibians would colonize the wetlands. The wetlands are only 4 years old but we've seen quite a few species there. Most often we see
southern leopard frogs,
bullfrogs,
green frogs,
southern toads and
eastern narrowmouth toads---and we know that all of them have successfully reproduced there. Less often we also see
green treefrogs,
barking treefrogs,
squirrel treefrogs,
cricket frogs, and Eastern
spadefoot toads. Check out the links for each species to see photos and hear their calls! Of these species we have started studying southern leopard frogs, southern toads, and narrowmouth toads in detail.
