The Collin County Frogs & Toads Field Guide is a free mobile-first field guide to the 15 frog and toad species documented in Collin County, TX created by Annelise Pretorius. Built as her Texas Master Naturalist™ Blackland Prairie Chapter End of Class Project, the guide was designed specifically for night field use. The call description and sound cues are front and center (rather than photos) because in the dark, you hear before you see. Each species profile includes a call recording, visual cue, 12-month calling season bar, traits, iNaturalist link, and references. It installs on your phone like a free app and works completely offline — no signal needed at the pond!
