Mountain Chorus Frog  (Pseudacris brachyphona)

 
Mountain Chorus Frog  (Pseudacris brachyphona)

The Mountain Chorus Frog, Pseudacris brachyphona, is mainly found in eastern Kentucky with scattered populations in the Mammoth Caves area of southcentral Kentucky and in the western portion of the knobs.  This small frog ranges from 1 to 1 and a half inches in length and can be distinguised by 2 inward bending stripes on the back, a white line on the upper lip, and a dark

triangle between the eyes .  This species calls from temporary water sources such as road ruts, ridgetop ponds, ditches and flooded areas on surface mines.  They can be heard calling from early spring into the middle of summer.  Males often call in pairs, one with a higher pitch than the other, making the sound of a squeeky wheel that can be paraphrased as "reek-rake, reek rake".
