Assuming the WV mentioned in the post stands for West
Virginia.....

My frog guess would be Cricket Frog which Stebbins describes
as a metallic gick,gick,gick, but there are several small
tree and chorus frogs that it could be.

There are also several insect species that cannot be ruled
out from this description and give that they are described as
coming from the tree tops.

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
