The ornate chorus frog (Pseudacris ornata) is a small, brightly patterned amphibian found in the southeastern U.S., including the St. Andrew Bay Watershed. Distinguishable by bold black spots on green, reddish, or brown bodies, these tiny 1-inch frogs are masters of camouflage in grassy wetlands and pine flatwoods. During the cooler months, they burrow in sandy soil near breeding sites and emerge on rainy nights to fill the air with their high-pitched, squeaky calls that can be repeated up to 80 times per minute! These lively frogs are a delight to spot or hear near temporary ponds and wetlands throughout Florida’s cooler seasons.
