9(a). Three toads or frogs identified at night by their voices

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 9: which TWO of the three?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Imitate each song for your counselor, then stalk each with a flashlight and discover how it sings and from where. Frogs and toads call in their breeding season, so this route has a window in the year rather than being available on demand.
