Ever wonder what that high-pitched, whistle-like “peep” coming from your backyard might be? Chances are it’s a spring peeper. Although you may never see this tiny frog found throughout North Carolina, you’ll know it’s there if you learn to recognize its call.

To help people identify the frogs and toads calling from the woods, around ponds and wetlands and in their backyards, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has available a new educational product, “The Frogs and Toads of North Carolina Field Guide and Recorded Calls.”

The field guide with CD features audio calls and 120 full-color photographs that beautifully illustrate the 30 frog and toad species native to North Carolina. Detailed descriptions of each species simplify identification and range maps identify where they are found in the state.

See Book Chapters below for a preview of some of the information you’ll find packed into this 88-page field guide!

Proceeds from sales of the field guide and CD will support Wildlife Diversity and conservation education projects and programs, such as the Calling Amphibian Survey Program (CASP) and Becoming an Outdoors-Woman®.
