Wetland Coffee Break: Wisconsin frogs: Where are they and what are they doing mid-summer?

Many of Wisconsin’s frog species call and breed in spring and early summer.  So what are frogs doing mid-summer after many have completed breeding for the year?  And are any species still breeding? This webinar will discuss the mid-summer habits and habitats of Wisconsin frogs, as well as how to identify them if you see or hear one.
