I had dinner with a from guy from Puerto Rico and apparently coquis are well loved there. I guess in time even Kahunascott will learn to love them ;-)
"The Coqui is a very popular creature throughout the island because it harmonizes the evenings with its graceful melody. The people on the island love to listen to the Coqui sing at bedtime, and its melody is dearly missed by the Puerto Ricans that are away from home....
....Critical Habitat has been designated in Puerto Rico because Coquies are in danger of extinction.. "

I have to agree with Brad W. I've been to Puerto Rico a number of times. There they are a background melody kinda like crickets.
Not the over all night time bombardment some complain about. We don't have them bad here at our home in Hawaiian Beaches. But some lots I go by they sound like jet engines. When I find them I kill them.
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....
