What frogs appear most often in Delaware wetlands?

Spring peepers start calling early in the year with high notes repeated quickly. I first heard them near a pond in northern Delaware back in March years ago. Gray treefrogs blend in with tree bark and shift from green to gray. See related guides at /wildlife/pennsylvania/frogs for more on similar calls.

How do calls help identify Delaware frogs?

Bullfrogs make a deep jug o rum sound that carries across water at night. Wood frogs quack like ducks in early spring woods. I tracked one by its call during a hike near a stream last April. American toads trill softly in grassy spots. Check out /wildlife/maryland/frogs for call comparisons in nearby areas.
