Boreal Chorus Frog
Pseudacris maculata
The adult Boreal Chorus Frog lives in grassy wetlands, open woods, meadows, and shallow breeding pools across much of northern North America. It eats small insects, spiders, and other soft-bodied invertebrates, usually hunting from low cover near moisture. Males are best known for their loud, rasping calls, often compared to a thumb being drawn along the teeth of a comb. Despite its tiny body, it can be one of the earliest and loudest frogs calling after winter thaw.
