an ARMY of frogs
is what they are called when they all gather together in spring to sing their mating calls. The males being the most vocal and the females tuning in to the mid range of the song. When you approach a very large group (army) they are very sensitive to
any sounds because of predators like racoons and will instantly go silent. With in a few minutes one frog will start and then the others start up so as not to be left out of the competition and if your sitting quietly nearby the sound of a thousand frogs singing simutaneously can be deafoning.
