Watchable Wildlife Trips Afield!

Take a trip afield to watch Watchable Wildlife in NW Iowa - we'll add video links here as we get them. Check back on ocassion for new additions!

Spring Wetland Chorus

- This video takes you to a NW Iowa wetland in early spring. Enjoy the sounds of Chorus and Leopard Frogs calling throughout the marsh - the sound can be overwhelming! The Chorus Frog calls are similar to the sound made by running your finger down a fine toothed comb. The Leopard Frog's call sounds more like a "snore" and rubbing a finger slowly on a balloon.

Spring Dusk Chorus

- Here we are in the evening light of dusk; the fairly new moon presents its crescent shape in the night sky as it sets onto the western prairie horizon. American Toads are now singing and their long drawn out "trill" dominates over the backwaters in the valley.
