Fern Ridge yo, we're froggin it up out here!

[u/TadashiAbashi → u/samalama23]

I work not too far from there, and the other night when I was leaving pretty late, I thought an alarm was going off in a neighboring warehouse! The sound was high pitched, rhythmic, and loud!

I realized there's a large field a few blocks away, near the wetlands, and there was what sounded like a thousand frogs at 100% volume. The combined sound was almost identical to those high pitched pulsing frequency alarms!

[u/samalama23 → u/TadashiAbashi]

Yes, I live really close to the lake and sometimes it gets SO intense, especially combined with the crickets and coyotes singing. Luckily I love it and it's like a lullaby for me.

I have an insane amount of chorus frogs in my yard.

I’m a few blocks east of NW expressway and south of Beltline.

[u/lisugmo → u/Significant-Entry465]

Over near NW Expressway and Maxwell and we have lots out here too!

[u/Spore-Gasm]

They’re amphibians so try near water where they live

[u/kombuchatherapy → u/Spore-Gasm]

wow really? i didnt know that. (i have gone to several watery areas and i havent seen any)

[u/thrownalee]

Not on 13th anymore.

[u/cowaii]

I’ve definitely heard them!

[u/Angel-Bites]

I live off River Road close to the northwest expressway and I see/hear them all the time next to bodies of water! Sometimes they come up to my apartment and chill on the porch or my back door lol.

[u/Prestigious-Packrat → u/Angel-Bites]

Aww, I love that. I live off River Rd too. They hang out under my window and croak me lullabies. Usually not until it gets a little warmer though. 

[u/Angel-Bites → u/Prestigious-Packrat]

That’s so cool, I love being able to hear them at night :) It’s cozy to fall asleep to haha

[u/arianaversace]

I’ve seen frogs down by the bridge over by the river on the Franklin Ave between Eugene and Springfield. lol in the croak of the night

[u/quackdamnyou]

As the weather turns they get easier to find. We've had some cold nights, they are hunkered down and developing slowly.

There are no where as many frogs these days is there were when we moved to 40 years ago. When we moved here I live out in the county you couldn't go out at night without having to holler to the person you're standing next to because the frogs and crickets were so loud. Now it's just crickets

[u/TysonTesla]

Now that you mention it, I've heard a lot less of them in amazon creek this year

[u/Jolly-Sandwich-3345 → u/TysonTesla]

Maybe the flooding a few weeks back messed up their habitat?

[u/YobbuPoffs → u/TysonTesla]

Hmm I hear what sounds like a lot.

Pisgah

[u/North_Anybody996]

Just saw a cute little tree frog at Pisgah last week!

[u/Anxious_Bluejay]

I think I've heard of those. Those are the furry pets, right? The ones with the noses and such?

[u/Sheepshead_Bay2PNW]

The frogs are the first ones to die off after the habitat gets filthy. Watched it happen elsewhere before, and we are seeing it happen in some areas here now. Not unexpected given how much trash is now in our waterways. Score another win for the humans I guess /s

[u/yakubiandevel → u/Sheepshead_Bay2PNW]

every night i hear thousands of them, so stop making up bullshit

[u/Sheepshead_Bay2PNW → u/yakubiandevel]

It’s not like someone wrote a book about such things. lol.

Please don’t remove wild animals from their habitat for your own enjoyment
