Bird-voiced treefrog

Smooth-skinned and equipped with goofy clown hands, the bird-voiced treefrog is easily confused with her close relatives, the gray treefrogs, save for her relatively small stature and distinctly avian voice. A devout believer in the summer fling, when a suitor sings 'wit-wit-wit-wit' from shrubs surrounding temporary pools our heroine heads out for night of passion that leads to more goofy little treefrogs.

 

Hyla avivoca, Illinois.
