The Coqui are brown little frogs the size of your thumb nail. I know because I've seen one in my things on the patio one day. That is rare because they are night- time frogs! They are like American crickets. They are loud and chippy from dusk til dawn.
They make a high pitched chip and usually resembles it's name: Coqui! For the first week, they were SO LOUD! When it turned dark I couldn't think, read, watch TV, or fall asleep. I couldn't understand how our friends weren't bothered. I soon learn they become the everyday. I rarely notice them anymore. Sometimes while watching TV after everyone is asleep a chirp or two will be unusually loud and catch my attention. Takes me away from my Netflix and reminds me where I am.
I've come to learn that Puerto Rico is just loud! My neighbors are loud, the music is loud, the loud bangs and pops,and thumps all around are loud. I like that because I'm loud, my kids are loud, and the Coqui, well, they remind me that's okay! :) I bet I might miss them a little when were gone! For now, they're my neighbors for 4 more years!
