What is the Southern Chorus Frog's call?

Answer 1

"Crrreeeeek" is the call of the Upland Chorus Frog (Pseudacris feriarum).

Specifically, the voice of the Upland Chorus Frog is a clicking trill that is made very quickly. The inflection is rising. Everything about the Upland Chorus Frog's call is audibly much faster than the very similar voices of the Boreal (P. maculata) and Midland (P. triseriata) Chorus Frogs.

Answer 2

"Crrreeeeek" is the call of the New Jersey Chorus Frog (Pseudacris kalmi).

Specifically, the voice of the New Jersey Chorus Frog is a clicking trill that is made very quickly. The call is very similar to that of the Upland Chorus Frog (P. feriarum). The range of the two frogs is close, but not overlapping.

Answer 3

"Crrreeeeek" is the call of the Cajun Chorus Frog (Pseudacris fouquettei).

Specifically, the voice of the Cajun Chorus Frog is a clicking trill that is made very quickly. In fact, each trill lasts just a bit more than a second. Its voice is very similar to that of the Southern Chorus Frog (P. nigrita), whose range is overlapping.

Answer 4

"Crrreeeeek" is the call of the Boreal Chorus Frog (Pseudacris maculata).

Specifically, the voice of the Boreal Chorus Frog is a metallic click that is made very quickly. A two- or three-second silence is respected between each click, with each click rising slightly higher in pitch than the previous. The calls of Boreal, Midland and Upland Chorus Frogs sound very similar, but with practice slight but audible differences in the rate within the trills can be recognized.

Answer 5

"Crrreeeeek" is the call of the Southern Chorus Frog (Pseudacris nigrita).

Specifically, the voice of the Southern Chorus Frog is a clicking trill. It lasts about a second, during which the pitch is slightly rising. The call is very similar to those of the Cajun (P. fouquettei) and Upland (P. feriarum) Chorus Frogs.

Answer 6

"Pip-pip-pip-pip-pip" is the call of the Ornate Chorus Frog (Pseudacris ornata).

Specifically, the Ornate Chorus Frog's call has a metallic sound. Its voice is similar to that of the Spring Peeper (P.crucifer), but with a more abrupt and ringing sound to it. What with two or three sounds made every second, the Ornate Chorus Frog's call also is made at an audibly much faster rate.

Answer 7

"Pip-pip-pip-pip-pip" is the call of the Strecker's Chorus Frog (Pseudacris streckeri).

Specifically, the voice of the Strecker's Chorus Frog is sharply metallic and quickly repeated. In fact, the sound is almost the same as that of the Ornate Chorus Frog (P. ornata). But whereas its call is lower in pitch, that of the Ornate Chorus Frog is higher in pitch.

Frog enthusiasts most likely will not have to differentiate between the two, since the ranges of the respective frogs do not overlap in the United States of America.

Answer 8

"Wreck! Wreck! Wreck! Wreck!" is the call of the California Chorus Frog (Pseudacris cadaverina).

Specifically, the voice of the California Chorus Frog is made about once every second. It sounds like an explosive quack. When males become aggressive, they give a raspier, scraping quality to their calls.

Answer 9

"K-k-k-k-k-k-kuk!" is the call of the Cascades Frog (Rana cascadae).

Specifically, the voice is a fast chuckle that often ends in a staccato grunt or growl. It slows down as temperatures drop. It may be made above or under water and does not carry at all far. It is heard after the snow melts in March, and until August.
