Different frogs live in different places. And each kind has its own breeding schedule. Visit your library or a local nature center to find out which frogs are in your area and when they're breeding. Ask a librarian or naturalist to suggest a good guidebook that shows the frogs and describes their eggs. Depending on the kind of frog, that may include anything from a puddle to a pond, a marsh or a swamp, or even the edges of a big lake.
Frogs usually stay away from deep or fast-flowing water.
YOUR EARS Frog calls can help you pinpoint egg-laying places. And if you recognize the different calls, you can narrow down which eggs to look for. Maybe you could listen to frog calls on a recording borrowed from a library or at a nature center. Or, if you have a computer with sound, here's a page of frog facts and sounds . Each frog egg starts out as a tiny dark spot surrounded by a thick layer of clear jelly-like stuff.
