Learn to identify frog and toad calls at workshop
I recall beautiful spring evenings up north listening to the “peepers” - those tiny little frogs that sing at night. What kinds of frogs do we have here? The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is calling all folks with two good ears, one free evening, and an interest in learning more about frogs and toads to participate in a Calling Amphibian Survey Program (CASP) workshop.
The workshop, which is $15, will be held at Camp Agape in Fuquay-Varina on Feb. 28 from 5 to 9 p.m. Participants will start the workshop by learning frog and toad call identification techniques and CASP protocols before heading outdoors to put their newly acquired listening skills to the test.
