Midnight Frog Calls, Sawgrass Fringe in Wax Myrtle Thicket

Following up on my previous pre-midnight frog call recording adjacent a brackish sawgrass dominated shoreline with saltbush and wax myrtle thickets up from the water's edge, here is an hour audio clip from shortly after midnight to just after 1 AM.  



I found a couple of observations to be of interest, including;

  • the frogs seemed to be consistently louder and more vocal this night just after midnight,
  • their vocalizations occurred in regular two to three minute interval rising and falling crescendos,
  • and a number of different species were participating in the chorus.
The wax myrtle thicket provided a unique platform to record ambiance from within.  Sony recorder, LOM MikroUsi microphones, windbubbles and waterproof drop bag.
