- MAP OF MONITORING LOCATIONS
Once per week in June (and July if you like), visit your specific monitoring site to listen for Bullfrogs:
- Go out to your site just before dusk on warm evenings (after warm, sunny days).
- Listen for 15 minutes each visit, record any observations, and report any bullfrogs you hear or see.

Phone two-50-858-157-zero or email lands[dot]dca@gmail[dot]com ASAP.
Make notes about the location and any other observations: How many calls did you hear? How frequent were they? How far away from you? Was there more than one individual?
Try to get an audio recording, if you can.

Phone two-50-858-157-zero OR two-50-281-502-nine right away!
Take photos if you can, and note the exact location.
Under provincial law, we are not permitted to harm bullfrogs in the wild.
You may carefully capture it in a bucket but do not move it from the location where it was found.

Please be mindful of wildlife and their habitat while monitoring.
For your safety (and to protect other critters) do not enter a wetland or lake while monitoring.
Take care in rough terrain and wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
