Scientific name: Lithobates sylvaticus Location: Madison County, North Carolina, USA Copyright: © Connie Toops Photographer Code: 57074 AGPix ID: AGPix_CoTo11_0201 Photo Alignment: 35mm (horizontal) Comments: Wood frogs are distinguished by dark markings behind the eyes. They breed in shallow water but wander far from lakes or streams into moist wooded areas. Breed in late winter to early spring. Often call before ice has melted, a hoarse, duck-like clacking. Explosive breeders, with all eggs laid in a few days. Range farther north than any other North American frog, into Labrador and Alaska. Found south into the Appalachian Mountains.
