Yes, I've heard them in Wailuku...but only one or two of them... so far. They start up around 10 p.m. and croak until around 5 a.m.Originally posted by manoasurfer123Well I know the Big Island is invaded to the point of no return.

Like I said before imagine a banyan tree full of myna birds at or near sunset then imagine that sound from evening to dawn. One or two is pleasant but hundreds are not

http://www.hawaiiancoqui.org/coquisong.htm We were down on Banyan drive in Hilo at night
a few months ago. It appears the Coqui have invaded the Banyan trees.
I'm sure all tourists are thrilled to hear that.
I personally find Coqui's sound maddeningly annoying.Check out my blog on Kona issues :

Re: Cocqui Frogs
My folks were all excited when they found a buncha frogs they thought were cocqui frogs. My father did his best to kill them all, but they were fast buggers and some got away. They were so sure the frogs were cocqui. But I got on the state website for cocqui frogs (http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/coqui/identification.asp) and they discovered the frogs, while still somewhat noisy, were not cocqui frogs. Now they feel kinda bad about killing them.

Re: Cocqui Frogs
My wife sent me that site when I started talking with her about the frogs. She's always the optimist. Me, I'm looking in my crystal ball and see ... *swirling mists* new triple paned windows. Those things do wonders for noises outside.

Re: Cocqui Frogs
Sound-proof windows help out quite a bit when one lives in a coqui frog-invested locale. While spraying citric acid and lime temporarily helps in eradicating the some of the frogs, new ones simply reinfest the sprayed area. Strangely, some varieties of coqui are endangered in their native Puerto Rico. So far, it looks like paving over everything with concrete might be the only sure-fire way to get rid of them.

Re: Cocqui Frogs
If it is always the humans fault that this species or that species goes extinct, then how is it that with a concerted effort we can not extinct the coqui on Big Island?

Re: Cocqui Frogs
We haven't had much success with driving cockroaches to extinction either. The simple way to rid Hawaii of coquis is to import their natural enemy. That would be a snake. Mongoose retraining would be an easier sell.Originally posted by timkona“First we fought the preliminary round for the k***s and now we’re gonna fight the main event for the n*****s."

Re: Cocqui Frogs
Chances are, the snakes would find something better to eat, like birds, instead of coqui frogs, Thus, we'd end up with a snake problem in addition to the coqui frog problem.Originally posted by sinjin
Here's something that might reduce the coqui frog population....
Pan-Fried Coqui
- 5 lbs of coqui frogs
- 3/4 cup lemon juice or vinegar
- crushed ice
- 1 cup milk
- 6 eggs, separated
- 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- vegetable oil
Wash the coqui frogs thoroughly. Place in a large pan and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cover with crushed ice and refrigerate 1 to 3 hours.
Combine the milk, egg yolks, olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into the batter.
Sprinkle the frogs with salt and pepper to taste. Dip the frogs into the batter then dredge in the flour.
Fry until golden brown in oil heated to 375 degrees. Drain on paper towels.
Serve and Enjoy!Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū ā ē ī ō ū -- Just a little something to "cut and paste."Comment
