Thanks for bringing this up I heard them at Wentzell Lake in Back Centre th=
is morning (June 21) and it would not have occurred to me that they were Mi=
nk Frogs if not for this post. I first thought it was someone tapping with =
a hammer at the campground across the lake. It is certainly not a call that=
 has peaked my interest in the past. I did manage to get some audio but the=
y are quite difficult to pick out among the Blackbirds and other noises.

Hi Nancy:

I found a lot of them locally in Lunenburg Count when I was doing the herp =
atlas.=C2=A0 I can't remember the locations anymore.=C2=A0 I have not come =
across many recently, so maybe numbers have dropped off since the atlas.=C2=
=A0 Although I have not been actively seeking them either. =C2=A0

Sincerely,

James

Heard a new (for me) sound at a marsh this morning in E Dalhousie, Kings. A=
 wooden =E2=80=9Ccut, cut, cut=E2=80=9D was sounding from the grassy edges =
all around the pond at intervals for the first time this year so I recorded=
 it. Obviously, it was a frog and the call matches that of a Mink Frog perf=
ectly.=C2=A0 Wondering about their distribution in NS? I read they are much=
