New Jersey Chorus Frog (Pseudacris kalmi) is a tiny species of tree frog, closely related to the allopatric Upland Chorus Frog (Pseudacris feriarum), and formerly considered conspecific. New Jersey Chorus Frog is distributed along the coastal plain of Maryland, east of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. This species has similar habitat requirements to its close relative, and may be found in shallow bodies of water, including flooded fields and ditches. The call is a harsh ascending, accelerating trill, like the sound of running a finger down the teeth of a comb (Conant & Collins, 1998; Maryland DNR site).
A tiny brown treefrog, with three variable darker longitudinal stripes down the back. Basically identical to Upland Chorus Frog, and difficult to distinguish except by range. Longitudinal stripes may average slightly thicker on this species, and this species averages more robust.
