Pine Barrens treefrog

One of North Americas most beautiful frogs, the Pine barrens treefrog (Hyla Andersonii) is a small and personable amphibian. With a unique range, this species occurs in only a few states with their stronghold being in New Jersey and other unconnected populations in the Carolinas and Alabama/Florida.

 

This pair in amplexus were photographed in North Carolina where these uncommon frogs are more commonly heard than seen. Their coloration and habitat preferences makes it very hard to get a look at them. Luckily for me, this couple was off on the side of the road in some branches overhanging a small seepage.
