Hello FrogWatch USA™ volunteers. Look here to find resources to help you out with all aspects of FrogWatch. We will be constantly adding to this page as we find materials. Don’t see something you need? Let us know and we will try to find it. Have something that others may find useful let us know and we can post it on here. As always you can check out the national FrogWatch USA site for more resources.

Resources for Learning Frog Calls
Below are links to websites which contain frog calls available to listen to.
THE USGS FROG CALL LOOKUP
This great USGS site allows you to look up a frog by common or scientific name and hear its call. It is a great place to learn. And when you are ready to test your self, you can take their FROG QUIZ and see how you do. It is great practice with instant feedback.
ALABAMA STATE PARKS SOUNDS OF ALABAMA
This resource provides calls of some of the state’s common frog species.
THE FROGS AND TOADS OF NORTH CAROLINA
This is the frog and toad page of the Amphibians and Reptiles of North Carolina site. This is a nice site operated by Davidson Herpetology. Click on a species to be taken to its page and then click on listen to call.
