During the spring and summer breeding season

these common pond-dwellers are vocally active

during the day and night. Males, like the one pictured

here, engage in vocal and physical disputes with other

males in the breeding aggregation. Their song has a

'squeeky' quality, is of variable duration, and is radiated

through bilateral vocal sacs located directly beneath

the ear drums.
