Frogs!

I live in the Southern Oregon Siskiyou mountains and every Spring the frogs start making lots of calls. Last night it was particularly loud and musical. Just for kicks, I got my little Olympus recorder and here is a short 15 sec clip of them. They congregate in this little watering hole and I counted about 6 frogs in there. I also busted out my Radio Shack SPL meter and they registered as 70 db. That's pretty loud. Anybody else enjoying them?

    Ours are a lot higher pitched, almost like crickets or cicadas, and almost deafening by the stream in our pasture.

    As I said Ernie, my brother also lives in Ashland. I have heard the frogs you are talking about! They are pleasent to listen to, and I enjoy them. Haven't heard them get really loud so far though.

    I have also seen the wild turkeys go up and down the street and through peoples' yards. Fun to watch!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Yep, the flocks of wild turkey are cool to see. A couple months ago my neighbor saw this coyote in the back yard and took this pic of it.
