Carpenter Frog
Rana virgatipes
June, 2012. New Jersey.
An adult male Carpenter Frog found in a sphagnum bog in the New Jersey pine barrens amongst a large chorus of other individuals and Pine Barrens Treefrogs (Hyla andersonii). This species has a unique call; kachuck-kachuck-kachuck, which sounds like a hammer hitting a piece of wood. Carpenter Frogs are denizens of acid & sphagnum bogs, cypress swamps, and other marshes along the Atlantic Coastal Plain, from New Jersey to Florida.
