Notes
Two individuals are calling here from a small group of Oaks. There are crickets calling as well.
I am unclear as to whether this should be marnockii or cystignathoides.
EDIT - After comparing the spectrograph of this recording to that of a known marnockii and cystignathoides, I have confirmed that this was marnockii.
Comments
Tom,
I did listen to a few recordings, but felt at the time they were cystignathoides. I believe the recordings at CalHerps under the marnockii setting (http://www.californiaherps.com/noncal/misc/miscfrogs/pages/e.marnockii.sounds.html) actually are recordings of both species.
In listening to this one again, I am not 100% sure so will call it Eleutherodactylus sp.. Thanks for error checking me!

Chris,
Interesting record, given that almost the entire county is good E. marnockii habitat. I have to ask, though: did you confirm the ID visually? (my old ears aren't that good at distinguishing between these two species' calls in snippets).
