HABITAT: Wet meadows, grassy pond and lake edges. May wander well away from water after breeding season.
BREEDING: April-early May, in permanent ponds, marshes, and bogs. Egg masses may hold as many 6000 eggs. Tadpoles transform into frogs by mid summer.
VOICE: A low croaking snore.
RANGE AND STATUS: Found statewide. Once the most abundant frog, but numbers have fallen in recent years for reasons that are unclear. Now rare in some parts of the state.
