Episode 94: Bird-voiced Tree Frogs in the Snappy Sync Magic

Recorded on June 9, 2025 at Wall Doxey State Park, this is the sound of a vibrant frog chorus at dusk in the wet woodlands surrounding artesian Spring Creek. Synchronized fireflies—Photuris frontalis, also known as Snappy Syncs—light up the twilight in silent rhythm. The chorus features Cope’s Gray Treefrog, Bird-voiced Treefrog, Green Frog and Fowler’s Toad, with the Bird-voiced Treefrog’s bell-like call resembling the pitch and tempo of a Pileated Woodpecker, at the forefront. Crickets add their steady rhythm to the layered soundscape.
