The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk is seeking citizen-scientist volunteers who will be … hoppy to help with a census of frogs in their neighborhoods. — an announcement from the Maritime Aquarium

An army of trained volunteers is needed to provide local data to a national program called “FrogWatch.” The local effort is a collaboration between the Maritime Aquarium, Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport and Yale’s Peabody Museum in New Haven. Although it’s called “FrogWatch,” volunteers will be asked to frog listen, not to watch. You don’t have to know anything about frogs and their different calls to sign up. That will be taught during upcoming training sessions at each of the four local institutions.
