: That is a good question and since I am by no means an expert, I will check the manual from TXPW.

: Abundance is estimated by a call index (CI) based on Three levels:
: CI = 1 for only a few individuals of the same species distinctly heard;
: CI = 2 for calls of several individuals that overlap;
: CI = 3 for so many individuals of the species calling that calls overlap and are indistinguishable.

: ***Apparently, I was mistaken in having a ranking of 4. CI = 3 is the highest on the scale so maybe the MX Treefrogs were calling between a 2-3.

: For more information check out http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/tracker/amphibians

: This site provides electronic copies of all the TX Amphibian Watch materials, as well as photos and calls for most frogs and toads of TX.

: If you try it and it doesn't work, please let me know. If it doesn't work than maybe you help me fix it. I never tried the Optional Link URL plus Link Title below the comment section before.
