We had a total of 10 people for a nice evening at the lake. Monitoring began at sunset, 6:11 p.m. and lasted an hour. One Blanchard Cricket Frog was seen and Strecker's Chorus Frogs were heard calling faintly at a C=3 from the parking lot area. There was a huge number (1000+) of American Robins using the park as a roosting site, so the noise of the Robins did not make recording easy.

During the monitoring a Great Horned Owl was heard calling near the lake.

In an effort to possibly get a look at a Strecker's Frog, the party moved to a nearby retention pond in the subdivision where Devine Lake is located. Several American Bullfrogs were seen there, but nothing else.

Attendees: Christie Gardner, Randy and Sandra Spurlock, Hunter Yarborough, Tonja Hamel, myself, Kathy McCormack, and newbies Ginger Duhon with her 2 children.

We had a total of 5 people for a nice evening at the lake. Monitoring began at sunset, 7:45 p.m. and lasted an hour. One Blanchard Cricket Frog was photographed while calling and they reached a full chorus of C=3. We saw 3 Rio Grande Leopard frogs but we had no luck netting them. They were recorded calling at C=1. On the way out of the park we checked the creek and located a young female American Bullfrog and got photos.

Attendees: Hunter, myself, Kathy, Amy and Mike.
