Calls of the Wild
Vocalizations of Georgia’s Frogs

Have you ever wondered which animal resonated the sounds of spring and summer in your backyard or questioned the call that came bellowing from the bushes near your farm pond? You can now learn more about some of these sounds with the new "Calls of the Wild - Vocalizations of Georgias Frogs" Compact Disk produced by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division (DNR/WRD).

Presenting the unique calls of all 31 species, this CD will introduce you to the wonderful and often bizarre calls of Georgias frogs and toads. The CD has separate recordings of every native species found in Georgia, as well as non-native species from the Caribbean, the greenhouse frog that has become established in several areas of southern Georgia. Additionally, over 20 minutes of mixed species choruses are included that can be listened to as peaceful and natural background music or can be used to test your ability to identify individual species mixed within others. Informative narration is provided for each of the individual species recordings, and a 16-page booklet loaded with information including natural history, range maps and physical characteristics for each species accompanies the CD.

This CD was made possible through funds raised from the sale of the Nongame Wildlife License Plate. Georgians can further support the conservation and protection of frogs and toads and their habitats by purchasing a wildlife license plate for their vehicles. Since 1997, more than 937,000 wildlife license plates have been sold in Georgia, raising over $13 million for wildlife conservation, recreation and education projects. The primary source of funding for the Nongame Wildlife & Natural Heritage Section,
the 1997 plate depicts a Northern bobwhite (quail) in flight through longleaf pine habitat - one of
Georgias most at-risk ecosystems.
