The many frogs around my house are identified as black-crowned night heron. I was very excited for a while since that bird is not common where I live.

OHHHH! That explains it. Had not figured out why that false detection kept coming up.

The sound that a frog makes is 'kwak' in Dutch. And that is also the name of this bird which makes a similar sound. Onomatopoeia for the frog predator.

Famously "koax koax koax" in classical Greek.
