I have been slogging it out along the marshes lately - the mud is worth it without the bugs. Out in the middle of a relatively narrow band of cat tails between the muddy areas and the lake, I have been hearing a sound like the beginning of a cat growl. I thought some type of frog but the sound is low pitched and irregular - not like someone trying to attract a mate - it is more like something just saying I am here and stay away. The area is rife with pheasants, herons, egrets, and redwings but even with the birds flying over the calls stays the same and sporadically irregular. Any ideas or am I dreaming of birds and labeling frogs?
