Nightingales And Frogs

A true masterpiece of midnight movement. The glorious white moon shines down upon the few nighttime noise makers, making for the ultimate in serene space, soft and delicate, the birds and frogs fracture the silence into moments of mystery and sudden bursts of sound. Take with you into your dreams the darling dance of those that walk in the pale moon light. Nightingales are named so because they frequently sing at night as well as during the day. The name has been used for well over 1,000 years. Some frog calls are so loud, they can be heard up to a mile away. Frogs call by passing air through the larynx in the throat. In most calling frogs, the sound is amplified by one or more vocal sacs, membranes of skin under the throat or on the corner of the mouth that distend during the amplification of the call. Species of frog without vocal sacs and that do not have a loud call tend to inhabit areas close to flowing water. The noise of flowing water overpowers any call, so they must communicate by other means. This sound uses the following file from Freesound: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=97603
