Description:

The most intense frog song I have ever heard. It was a pain to take those photos.

Habitat:

Wetland, reeds. Found at night.

Notes:

The sound of those frogs at night were so very loud, and it had a crazy kind of doppler effect. The frog was in front of me, but the sound surrounded the whole area... Bizarre!
