USGS Frog Quiz

The Frog Quiz was created to minimize variability in frog call identification.

For a state like Louisiana, which has more than 30 different species of frogs calling throughout the season, it is quite a challenge!

Lucky for us in the state of Maine, there are only nine species volunteers need to learn to identify.

The Frog Quiz is an excellent tool to have when it comes to data analysis, especially for long-term monitoring data like MAMP provides.

Assuring that MAMP volunteers know what they are hearing on their nightly survey strengthens our data and give us more confidence in any data analysis we may do.
