Mink Frogs are very timid. Some careful sneaking is required to get close to one. Usually all you see is the water surface breaking in a number of places as they skid off vegetation and hide underneath. The best time to watch them is at night, because they tend to stay still while a flashlight beam is on them.
When a number of frogs are vocal it sounds like a couple of carpenters nailing shingles on a house somewhere in the distance. Females produce about 1,000 eggs each year.
Mink Frogs eat a variety of land and water creatures, particularly ants, beetles, bugs, moth larvae, spiders and flies
Their preferred habitat is quiet waters with lots of plants like lily pads and pickerel weed.
The height of the breeding season is in July. Males take their place at suitable spawning sites among the surface vegetation and begin calling a mate.
