Male frogs can usually be located by sound, but they are cryptic
and difficult to find. Be patient. As you get closer, males
usually stop calling. Turn off your flashlight and wait for
calling to resume. When the frog calls again, pinpoint its location
as best you can, then turn on your flashlight and start inspecting
the leaves where you last heard it. Remember that there often
are one or more silent females near a calling male.
