Scinax Shout
Scinax ruber - Buenaventura Reserve, Ecuador
There were consistently large aggregations of these just a few 100 meters away from where I lived but it took me a few months to find them because all my forays into the night tended to be farther off and I would bypass the area they were in almost right away. In addition they were only really vocal during rain and I would often choose not to venture out if it was actively raining. I'm lucky I found them before I left, I rather enjoyed photographing these little frogs as they called from amid the tall grass. It was a challenge to move through the grass and photograph them calling without spooking them as all the grass was interlocked and disturbing even a far away piece would cause a reverberation across the whole area. I met with mixed success when trying to photograph these and more often than not they would hop away or stop calling but the odds were in my favor and I eventually got some shots I was content with.
