Amphibians

Herring Bay’s wetlands, forests, and fields are alive with amphibians. Frogs and toads are particularly sensitive to natural conditions and can provide an “early warning” of significant changes in our environment. AHB volunteers track amphibian calls at key wetlands from early spring through June, and has supported data collection for Maryland’s Reptile and Amphibian Atlas so that scientists will know about trends in our area. Plus, it’s fun!
