Have you ever wondered which animal resonated the sounds of spring and summer in your backyard or questioned the call that came bellowing from the bushes near your farm pond? You can now learn more about some of these sounds with the "Calls of the Wild - Vocalizations of Georgia's Frogs" CD produced by Georgia DNR's Wildlife Resources Division.

Presenting the unique calls of all 31 species, this CD will introduce you to the wonderful and often bizarre calls of Georgia's frogs and toads. The CD has separate recordings of every native species found in Georgia, as well as a non-native species from the Caribbean, the greenhouse frog, that has become established in several areas of southern Georgia.

Additionally, more than 20 minutes of mixed species choruses are included that can be listened to as peaceful and natural background music or can be used to test your ability to identify individual species mixed within others. Informative narration is provided for each of the individual species recordings, and a 16-page booklet loaded with information including natural history, range maps and physical characteristics for each species accompanies the CD.

This CD was made possible through funds raised from the sale of the nongame wildlife license plates. Georgians can further support the conservation and protection of frogs and toads and their habitats by purchasing a wildlife plate for their vehicles. Since 1997, thousands of wildlife plates have been sold in Georgia, supporting wildlife conservation, recreation and education projects.

The bald eagle and ruby-throated hummingbird license plates are the primary source of funding for the Wildlife Resources Division's Nongame Conservation Section. The section receives no state appropriations for its mission to conserve Georgia's nongame wildlife, which includes wildlife not legally hunted, fished for, trapped or collected, as well as native plants and natural habitats.
