Gray Treefrog
I love frogs almost as much as birds, maybe more. The Gray Treefrog is fairly common in the Great Swamp, but they can be maddenly difficult to find. They often hide in the crooks of trees or in knot holes, as this one did. I somehow managed to catch a glimpse of light off of him. (BTW - I may have chosen the wrong subspecies here).
I really blew this photo up and enhanced the image to make the frog more obvious. In the field and the photo, it was almost indistinguishable from the tree. Also, the light was awful, so way underexposed the photo and then blew it out with the flash.
