Western Chorus Frogs Calling

In the early Spring of 2023, I spent a few sunny afternoons filming Western Chorus Frogs (Pseudacris triseriata) calling in Southwestern Colorado.
It was an astonishing experience. Between the beauty of the frogs, the hypnotic sound of their calls, the warmth of the sun…it was like being in a really good dream.
This video shows a few of the highlights. I’ve slowed down one of the clips to better show the mechanics of how the frogs call, and the enormous amount of effort they put into each call. It’s kind of mind-blowing.
No narration in this video, just frogs calling.
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed filming it.
