Now playing at a swamp near you

You can learn to recognize frog and toad calls by listening to recordings on Web pages, tapes, or CDs. But even if you don't have access to recordings, don't give up! A lot of the calls are easily described in words.

The frogs pictured here are the eight kinds that the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority is tracking with volunteer help. The frogs are spread widely enough across North America that you will probably hear some of them where you live, too.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
