Sounds Southern

Bird-voiced Tree Frogs in the Snappy Sync Magic


Listen Later

Recorded on June 9, 2025 at Wall Doxey State Park, this is the sound of a vibrant frog chorus at dusk in the wet woodlands surrounding artesian Spring Creek. Synchronized fireflies—Photuris frontalis, also known as Snappy Syncs—light up the twilight in silent rhythm. The chorus features Cope’s Gray Treefrogs, Bird-voiced Treefrogs, Green Frogs and Fowler’s Toads, with the Bird-voiced Treefrog’s bell-like call (resembling the pitch and tempo of a Pileated Woodpecker) at the forefront. Crickets add their steady rhythm to the layered soundscape.
