Sounds of North American Frogs

The amphibian song revival begins here! This classic of both biological fieldwork and natural sound recordings, originally released by Folkways in 1958, presents 57 species of frogs and toads on 92 tracks, digitally remastered from the original master tapes. Compiled and narrated by renowned herpetologist Charles M. Bogert, these sounds were recorded in swamps, lakes, woods, creeks, and road-side ditches all over North America. Sit back and let the bewitching tones of the Pig Frog, Dwarf Mexican Treefrog, Little Green Toad, Southwestern Woodhouse's Toad, Great Basin Spadefoot, and other famed vocalists entrance and amaze you. In a time when frog and toad populations are in rapid decline, this recording reminds us of the remarkable diversity and beautiful music we are in danger of losing. Extensive notes with a new introduction by Richard G. Zweifel, bibliography, discography, and photographs are included. 92 tracks. 55 minutes. Reissue of Folkways 6166.

Este clásico, tanto de trabajo de campo biológico como de grabaciones del sonido natural, fue publicado originalmente por Folkways en 1958, presenta cincuenta y siete especies de ranas y sapos en noventa y dos pistas remasterizadas digitalmente de las cintas maestras originales. Compilado y narrado por el reconocido herpetólogo Charles M. Bogert, estos sonidos se registraron en pantanos, lagos, bosques, arroyos y zanjas de borde de la carretera en toda América del Norte.

Siéntese y deje que los tonos embrujo de Pig Frog, Dwarf Mexican Treefrog, Little Green Toad, Southwestern Woodhouse's Toad, Great Basin Spadefoot (Spea intermontana) y otros famosos cantantes de entrada le sorprendan.
