It's time to visit Frog Town! That's one of my first thoughts every year when June arrives.
I'm fortunate to live near several frog hot spots, but one in particular I have named Frog Town due its abundance and variety of frogs. Once I heard eight different species calling while standing in the middle of Frog Town.
Do you have a favorite frog spot? If you live near a lake, pond, creek, or other wetland area, you're likely hearing frogs this time of year - especially after rain. If not, then I encourage you to seek out your own Frog Town this month.

Of course, here in Tennessee many frogs are calling long before June arrives.
I sometimes hear Upland Chorus Frogs on warm days in January, and they typically peak in February.
Spring Peepers are early callers as well. Then many other species get into the act in March, April and May.
But June is when I hear the most variety as many of the early callers are still vocal and overlapping with the later arrivals.
With that in mind, I would like to mention some of my favorite frogs to listen for during the month of June.
