Last night I got down to the Frontenac area to run my frog & toad route. The frogs and toads at most sites were nothing short of deafening! I am sure I missed some species calling from further away as they were drowned out by the toads and Gray Treefrogs.
Did have two Whip-poor-wills calling on CR5. I heard no rails or Marsh Wrens, although there were a couple of birds that called out that are not usually heard at night. Did have one call that I did not have a clue. I had a bird(?) calling that sounded like a kitten. At times the quality of the call became more raspy. Although one was calling consistently, it did get responses from a couple of other spots. any ideas? It was a perfect night to be out listening.
