## Resource

In this episode of The Backyard Naturalists , Debbie and Laurie take a fun and fascinating leap into the world of frogs and toads —those small but mighty voices you hear rising from ponds, ditches, and backyards as spring turns into summer. You'll learn how to spot (and hear!) some of North Carolina's most common amphibians , including the American Bullfrog , Southern Leopard Frog , Spring Peeper , American Toad , and the charmingly named Eastern Spadefoot Toad . The hosts break down what makes frogs different from toads, share the importance of ephemeral ponds for breeding, and encourage listeners to pay close attention to the nighttime chorus happening right outside their windows. If you've ever wondered who's making all that noise after dark , or simply want to better understand your backyard's hidden wildlife, this episode is for you. 🌿 The Backyard Naturalists is the podcast about anything and everything connected with nature — heard in all 50 states, 125 countries, and right here in the Carolinas. 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, or wherever you get your podcasts.
