Leopard Frogs
Lithobates pipiens who live in our pond may travel one or two miles from water in the summer. You might hear them make a long, deep 'snore' noise lasting several seconds ending with a chuck-chuck-chuck. In the fall, Leopard Frogs come back to their pond. We saw this one hopping across the sandy shore. They spend the cold winter in the water, burrowed into the mud, hibernating with their metabolism slowed.
