Range map should be deleted or redone. Map shows range as exclusively Ontario, but species is not found in the province. |

IUCN range added back |
Comments
I added the IUCN range back because its the best map we have. It overlaps parts of Ontario which I guess is too bad. If you have a better range please add one!
It should be possible to create a shared geography map between the icun range map and a polygon of the US which would exclude the parts of Canada the ICUN map, since the species stays on your side of the border.
I can give it a try tonight.
I've found a map that looks more accurate but can't find the source online. It might be only in a book.

Here is a source on Cope's Canadian range, not sure if there are any maps that align with this information though. https://www.naturewatch.ca/frogwatch/copes-treefrog/
@cmcheatle would it be possible to use these sources together to create an atlas?
Weird. I deleted it for now as that seems wildly inaccurate and iNat shouldn't be spreading misinformation
