I have a small garden pond in my back yard, and most years it seems to
attract one frog. He sounds lonesome, and I never get tadpoles.

Earlier this month I got a couple more frogs at the water garden
nursery here in town, one of the new ones was a male, and they "sang"
together. It was pleasant and amusing listening to the two of them
together. After about a week the new one stopped "singing" and only
the old one still makes any noise. I suppose something caught the new
one, a cat or bird or something. I miss him.

Who was the famous California writer that wrote that story about the
frogs that were so noisy at night he couldn't sleep. So he was
advised to get an alligator (baby) to keep them quiet?

Anyway, apparently frogs are supposed to breed quite ferociously.
Maybe you just have to wait awhile.

Mark Twain wrote about frogs in california, I'm not sure about that
particularly story, tho.

I'm thinking of going to the creek and stealing some eggs, kind of
help nature along. these things are amazing loud, an inch or two long
from that makes a noise that can be heard across the street with the
doors and windows shut.

are they territorial?

I wondered about that, but I don't know. they seem to be Chlorous
Frogs, who gather into an area and croak together, like a bunch of

guys showing off for the girls. they don't ,match the descriptions in
the books, and the ones I think they are the book says don't live
around here, so there is a lot of guessing going on.

in areas where they are more common, many will be "singing" at the
same time. I doubt that one drove off the other, but it may have
happened that way. wild life is wild.
