Black Meadow Road, 30 June 2008

In addition to the field guides we bring along on our outings, we'll occasionally bring audio and video of some of the harder-to-see creatures we might encounter. One evening late at night we were called to Black Meadow Road to record footage of Fowler's Toads and Gray Treefrogs calling. This is footage we will be able to show our Nature Strollers families, answering the "What is making that noise?" questions that their field guides cannot. The clip above shows a Gray Treefrog calling, and in the background you can hear the hysterical-sounding Fowler's Toads screaming for females. Our Nature Strollers children (and parents) love to see these creatures making the noises they hear at night!
