That is disturbing.

I have lived in the same place for 28 years, and we have a frog pond at the bottom of the hill. The croaking in the Spring was wonderful to hear. Now we don't hear them at all. I assume they were killed from the many more houses that have been built around us.......increasing the impervious surfaces......and that toxic runoff from their driveways and roofs did the deed.

Occasionaly I would see a PNW tree frog in our yard too, but haven't seen any in three years.

Very sad.

You can read about, and hear the PNW tree frog here:

Be sure to listen to the two-toned mating call.

This is the best picture I could find on line in a little amount of time.
