Abstract
In 2023, call data was collected at 851 sites and 16 different frog and toad species were identified. The four most common species recorded on the survey were Chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata), Cricket Frog (Acris blanchardi), American toad (Anaxyrus americanus), and Eastern Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor). As more years of data are included, some species have started to show moderate to strong trends including green frog (+), cricket frog (+), Eastern gray treefrog (-) and cricket frog (-). Further analysis is needed to determine whether these are true trends or are biased by some variables not currently included in the analysis.
