| Ghost Glass Frog (Sachatamia ilex) near Siquirres, Costa Rica |
I spent 7 days in Costa Rica this August. Unlike previous trips to CR, this was a frog recording trip. My previous trips have all been birding trips where I got a chance to do a few minutes or recording along the way. This trip was planned as a frog recording trip with a bit of butterfly watching/photography in the intervening waking hours.
So for that reason, I recorded quite a few species of frogs (~22) including the following new ones (I will provide links to the new blog pages as I make them):
San Carlos Treefrog (Dendropsophus phlebodes)
Blue-sided Leaf Frog (Agalychnis annae)
Parachuting Red-eyed Leaf Frog (Agalychnis saltator)
Lemur Leaf Frog (Agalychnis lemur)
Mahogany Treefrog (Tlalocohyla loquax)
Dwarf Glassfrog (Teratohyla spinosa)
Ghost Glassfrog (Sachatamia ilex)
I also heard another species calling, but missed out recording because my recorder seems to have glitched? I have several recordings from that location, but 3 of them have no sound. đ It was undoubtedly user error, but if I can salvage something I will be able to add a recording of
Gliding Leaf Frog (Agalychnis spurrelli)
Of course, I ran across some old friends as well and was happy to record these species again!
Red-eyed Leaf Frog (Agalychnis callidryas)
Boulenger's Snouted Treefrog (Scinax boulengeri)
Snouted Treefrog (Scinax elaeochora)
Hourglass Treefrog (Dendropsophus ebraccatus)
Yellow Treefrog (Dendropsophus microcephalus)
Northern Smokey Jungle Frog (Leptodactylus savagei)
Sabinal Frog (Leptodactylus melanonotus)
Mexican White-lipped Frog (Leptodactylus fragilis)
Fleischmann's Glass Frog (Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni)
Yellow-flecked Glass Frog (Sachatamia albomaculata)
Giant Toad (Rhinella horribilis)
Striped Rocketfrog (Allobates talamancae)
Strawberry Dart Frog (Oophaga pumilio)
Tink Frog (Diasporus diastema)
So my recording lifelist is now at 142 species, in 48 genera, and 15 families.

* - I am aware of the massive 2025 revision of the Australian Pelodryadid frogs. There are a lot of new genera and reassignments of species. I will probably slowly have to incorporate these changes into my blog slowly when I get the time. It will involve a lot of name changes! I guess the good news it I get a bunch of new genera on my lifelist?
