Thanks Alice! ceherzog - You need to have a strong torch (headlamp or flashlight), shining out from where your eyes are. It needs to be near your eyes/head so when the frog's eyes reflect you can see it. I'm not very good with frog calls, but some people (like your friend) are able to recognize calls really well with some practice.
How do you make a pale pink eye shine? I assume you hear them to locate. Can you identify the frogs by their sound? I know a biologist at U of FL, Archie Carr, made a key for frog calls.

Amazing!
Yeah. A lot of frogs are nocturnal and best spotted by a dull pink eye shine at night.
Do you find these at night?
