Recordist's notes
After almost a week of temperatures in the upper 50s/lower 60s, the temperature dropped and these Pseudacris crucifer chorus frogs became a little subdued by 12am on a Saturday night. For many years, this marsh has been one of several local sites for the state's annual frog and toad survey. From 1882-1902, this site bordered the roadbed for the Bear Lake & Eastern Railroad. Stereo mics (Audio-Technica, AT-822 & Aiwa CM-TS22), recorded via Sony MDs (MZ-NF810 & MZ-R700, pre-amps) and Tascam DR-60DmkII.
