 Little Frog Good evening all, something a little different for you all this evening, this is our noisy little Whistling Tree Frog, Eleutherodactylus johnstonei that we have everywhere on the island, they are only about the size of a dime! As I sit here typing I can hear at least 10 of them outside at this very moment! Eva found this one on our porch when she was here. I then set up the tripod and camera and proceeded to sit there motionless and waited quietly for around 45 minutes for him to again start making noise. The high pitched whistle you hear is caused from them blowing up their little sacks which they do non-stop continuously all night long! When we first got here that sound used to drive me absolutely crazy, (it sounds just like crickets chirping) now we love it!
Not a whole lot else to report, took the dogs for an hour and a half walk this morning, worked on my driftwood furniture and went on a bike ride at 5:00, that was my day!
For those of you asking about the photos I have in Ranger Rick, I found out they will be in the December/January issue, if anyone can pick me up a copy please do! Scuba Diver should be out now, I found the new Sport Diver today but not Scuba Diver. There was an alarming article about Blue Fin Tuna, they could be extinct by 2012!! And 80% of all the ocean fish and mammals could be gone by 2048!! Watch what you buy folks, this is for real!!
Off to bed, talk to you tomorrow, Barry
