Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Boreal Chorus Frog

Pseudacris maculata

Look, don't take. Many states regulate collecting reptiles and amphibians. Photograph it, log it on iNaturalist and leave it where you found it.

Description

The boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) is a species of chorus frog native to Canada from central Quebec to eastern British Columbia and north to the Northwest Territories and the southern portion of the Yukon. A dark band is present from the snout, across the eye, and continuing down the side.Wikipedia ↗

Habitat

This species can be found around permanent water bodies in cleared land and forest. The metamorphosis survival rate also has a massive range of 10-100% in the wild.Wikipedia ↗

When it's active

Males make a "reeeek" call from grasses, vegetation, or ground around the water body from April through to September. The static grouping is distinguished by a lack of variability in one's call and the ability to somewhat control the direction of their calls.Wikipedia ↗
