Frog season is coming up. I have already heard chorus frogs and wood frogs. So it is time for me to study for and pass the NAAMP (North American Amphibian Monitoring Program) frog quiz. I took it tonight and passed the first time. I am all set for our frog route near Kroschel, MN. Mink frogs sound like the distant hammering of nails. I actually saw a mink frog once. A biologist trapped it and brought it out from the bottom of a wetland. And phew! It smelled like a mink. And a mink smells a little bit like a skunk. Mink frogs are rare. I've only heard them once. Mink frogs sound like the distant hammering of nails. See if you agree.
