Very close range recording of three Eastern grey tree frogs found in my back yard pool in Massachusetts. There are many excellent, clear calls, though a bit too much mic handling noise toward the beginning. Fireworks are also loudly audible in the background throughout the recording, because a neighboring town was holding its delayed Independence Day celebration when I made this recording.

Along with normal "advertisement" mating calls, this recording includes several chuckling or cluck-like "release calls" made when one of the amorous male frogs mistakenly attempted to mount another male.

  ... and on re-listen, I realized you can hear me fiddling with my camera, which I was using to snap pictures of the frogs at one point. Ah well, still a pretty good recording, I think.
