Pine Woods Treefrog
A small frog that breeds in transient pools of water, including roadside ditches, the pine woods treefrog is found in Coastal Plain marshes and pine flatwoods from Virginia to Texas. Adhesive disks on their toes allow them to climb into tree canopies, and their short, punctuated calls have given them the nickname “Morse code frogs.”
