Frog Call Survey: Field Training

This optional training session is intended for those who attended the first Frog Call Survey training session in February, and are looking to get some field experience. One of the best times to listen for frogs is at dusk, and many species are just beginning to become active at this time in early spring. This is a perfect opportunity to get an idea of what to listen for during frog call monitoring. We will begin with a brief indoor review, and then head outside to practice our frog call monitoring skills. FREE. Register by April 10 at ccfpd.org; For more info: (217) 896-2455 or jwick@ccfpd.org
