Acris blanchardi
\n<\/em> Species Status:<\/strong> Endangered in Canada, Extirpated in Ontario
\nAction Required:<\/strong> Conservation breeding, reintroduction<\/p>\n

As Ontario\u2019s wetlands disappear because of development, so too have Blanchard\u2019s cricket frogs. Despite many searches, there hasn\u2019t been a confirmed record of this species in Canada since the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

Snapshot
\n<\/strong>A subspecies of the northern cricket frog, Blanchard\u2019s cricket frog is the most aquatic type of tree frog in North America. Small enough to fit on a soup spoon, adults measure just 16 to 38 mm in length. They have a warty appearance, pointed snout and a V-shaped mark between the eyes. However, it\u2019s the breeding call of the male that really sets them apart \u2014 a distinctive rasping noise that sounds like pebbles being rapidly clicked together.<\/p>\n

Habitat<\/strong>
\nBlanchard\u2019s cricket frogs live along the edges of lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and other bodies of water. In Ontario, they have been found in shoreline marshes, pools, lagoons, ditches, flooded fields and drainage canals used for agriculture. They tend to make their homes on muddy shores or in vegetation found in shallow water. In the winter, these frogs hibernate away from the water in holes or under rocks and logs.<\/p>\n

Range
\n<\/strong>Blanchard\u2019s cricket frogs can still be found in large numbers in eastern and central United States. In Canada, this frog has only ever been found at Point Pelee and Pelee Island, in extreme southwestern Ontario. If they are still out there, populations may now only persist in Fish Point Provincial Nature Reserve on the southern tip of Pelee Island. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Threats
\n<\/strong>Several natural factors have contributed to the decline of Blanchard\u2019s cricket frogs, including predators such as birds, reptiles, bullfrogs and fish and storms that damage coastal marshes. Meanwhile, draining marshes and wetlands for development projects and dredging canals that the frogs use as breeding sites have also contributed to declines. Finally, the runoff of pesticides and fertilizers is believed to be another major factor.<\/p>\n

Recommended Recovery Actions
\n<\/strong>The federal Recovery Strategy calls for surveys to determine whether the species is still present in its Canadian range, as well as whether there is enough habitat in Canada to support recovery efforts. If no individuals are found, the strategy recommends assessing the feasibility of reintroducing Blanchard\u2019s cricket frogs.<\/p>\n

What We Are Doing
\n<\/strong>Blanchard\u2019s cricket frog is on Wildlife Preservation Canada\u2019s priority list for potential future action. Find out how Wildlife Preservation Canada is currently saving other Canadian amphibians<\/a>, such as Fowler\u2019s toad and Oregon spotted frog, and how you can make a difference.<\/p>\n
