I miss the sounds of frogs as we don't have many here in my area of Colorado! I bet they are over by the Roaring Fork River but it's so cold right now....I'm going to research! ❤ Lovely writing!
Colorado has two species of leopard frogs, the Northern Leopard frog more prominant; the American bullfrog; the Cricket frog; the Canyon Tree frog; the Western Chorus frog; the Wood frog; the Great Plains Narrow Mouth toad; the Great Plains toad; the Green Toad; the Red Spotted toad; the Woodhouse's toad; the Plain's Spadefoot toad; the Great Basin Spadefoot toad; the New Mexico Spadefoot toad; and the Couch's Spadefoot toad! 16 different frogs and toads! By my home I have the Northern Leopard frog, the Western Chorus frog, the Woodhouse toad. Three types. Frogs do hibernate and even freeze but they have glucose like antifreeze will rejuvenate when above freezing temps return! They dig burrows in the soil, drop deep into ponds, burrow in trees and mulch.

Frogs live in most areas of the world, so it’s likely you have them too. They can hibernate in cold climates. Let me know what you discover! 😀

You discovered them near you, great! Being able to freeze and come back to life is resilient. Thanks for sharing the information.
Wonderful to learn more of these noisy creatures! Very well written, Robin.These essays are a delight to read. Judy G.
Thank you Judy. It was fun to follow the clues to find out who the frog call belonged to and what they looked like. 😁
