Coqui Sounds in Puna

Recently, some of our South Kona neighbors were in Puna.  Listen to the noise recording of invasive coqui frog on RIGHT.  The per acre density of frogs in Puna along the Red Road is very high. The sound from the coqui frogs there is intense and very loud.

Listening: on the right side of this blog page you'll see a green mp3 player. Click on the triangle to hear the sounds of the night when coqui frogs are allowed to spread. From a distance the coqui sound may not seem noisy, however, at a close distance their sound is deafening - measured at over 90 decibels (louder than a lawn mower). Imagine this sound near your home throughout the night.
