Todd Plummer asked about frogs that sound like a person running a finger
along a comb. Those are the Chorus Frogs, genus Pseudacris, and there
are several species. In Gwinnett County you have the Northern Chorus
Frog, Pseudacris triseriata, and possibly the Southern Chorus Frog,
Pseudacris nigrita, but being above the fall line, the more likely is
the Northern. I'm sure that these frogs have been broken up into other
subspecies by now, but this is how it was taught to me back in the stone
ages of 1990. There are some great tapes available on learning frog
calls - 'Voices in the Night' is a good one...
