An Eastern Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) on the window in macro from the outside looking in. It's hard to tell the difference between this and the Cope's Gray Tree Frog since I didn't hear it. That's basically the only way to tell them apart. The next photo is from the inside looking out. You can seen the bottom of the frog. You can also see the slime on his feet to help him stick to stuff. #TreeFrog #EasternGrayTreeFrog #animal #grenouille #Frosch #Tier #ribbit #Rippchen #côtelette
A macro shot of an Eastern Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) on the window. It was shot from the inside looking out while he's looking in. He's watching me drink coffee. It's hard to tell the difference between this and the Cope's Gray Tree Frog except by sound. The previous shot is from the outside looking in. You can see the slime on the window and on his feet that help him stick to stuff. #TreeFrog #EasterGrayTreeFrog #animal #frog #amphibian #HylaVersicolor #ribbit

This treefrog was found sleeping up in a tree. Gray Treefrogs can change from the colors of gray to green, depending on substrate where they are sitting.
The grey treefrog is a species native to much of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. This one does not look as impressed at seeing me, as I was at seeing it.

It had been years since I'd last seen one of these beautiful Common or Eastern Gray Treefrogs (Hyla versicolor). I remember going out with my father as a child to find them in the evenings, chasing after their trilling calls, which I even learned to imitate so that I could trigger their songs again when they fell silent. These highly arboreal frogs are typically gray or green, depending on their mood and environment. Interestingly, they freeze in the winter! By generating large amounts of glycerol and, ultimately, glucose, they are able to freeze without ice crystals forming within their cells and destroying them. Their hearts and breathing stop for the winter and they rejuvenate come the spring thaw!
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing and the lawn mower is broken. James Dent

Found this immature Eastern Gray Tree From ( Dryophytes versicolor ) just outside my back door. They are hard to spot if you don't have a keen eye!

When I first saw this tree frog, it was funny watching it crawl out of the hole in the cement. It looked like a scene from a scary movie, it was very slow and deliberate. This little creature let me take it's photo and we just stared at one another. We were both curious and charmed by one another... :)

Imagine my surprise when I threw my glance over to my dining room window and saw this Gray tree frog clinging to it. I have absolutely no idea how it got past the outer screen, which, though not locked in place, is otherwise fairly secure. At any rate, this was the sequence of events, from left to right top, left to right bottom:
1. Frog on window. Notice how adorably all its legs are tucked beneath it.
2. Frog on window with front feet extended.
I then opened the window and gently grabbed hold of it to set it outside. However, it did not at all like being cupped in my hands and either peed or excreted some kind of liquid, so at that point I pushed open the bottom of the screen and opened my cupped hands.
3. The frog landed on my teak bench.
I brought over a pot saucer with water in it, one that I use for a bird bath, and nudged it over into it. I have a photo of it there. It then leaped onto the side of my house, and I have a photo of it there but did not add those two to this mosaic.
4. I again picked up the frog and brought it over to a tree trunk, but it decided it preferred being on the ground at that time.
I think the change in color in these photos (hence its scientific name) was more a factor of light than it changing its color, as a chameleon does, since these frogs take about a half hour to make that change.

Zoe Bear is having some difficulties that I'm trying to deal with, which is partly why I haven't been around much and probably won't be for a while. Thanks for caring.

The Gray Tree Frog has conspicuous finger and toe disks. The frog produces a sticky substance on their toe pads that allow them to climb and hang on smooth surfaces. The tree frog can change its color from tones of green to gray to brown within minutes. They often change colors in response to habitat or surroundings.

A series on the Gray Treefrog that was found in a nature preserve in Wabash County. Same frog in comment section.
While my brother and I were rolling over logs looking for salamanders, I spotted this treefrog on a bush within eye sight. Just earlier we were trying to locate a Gray Treefrog that we heard calling from a distance, but our patience ran out.
Please view large on black.
This little guy found itself in our pool skimmer one day :( ... so I rescued him :), placed the little frog in an open square plastic sandwich container, and walked him to the edge of our property to be released. Instead of quickly hopping out of the open container to freedom, he just sat there staring at me.
I didn't have my camera with me, and I didn't know how long he would just sit in the container, but I decided to run the couple hundred yards to the house and back to see if I could get a few shots anyway.
To my surprise, he was still sitting right where I had left him, which had to be 3 or 4 minutes while I was gone, so I started shooting away at different angles and distances. No matter how I turned the container he was in to try to get different shots of his back or sides, he would spin around and face me again ... it was kind of cool, and I'll say it, very cute too.
For about 5 minutes I had taken various photos, and at one point within that time, a blue fly actually landed on his head for a short bit, enough for me to get a couple photos before it flew away :) ... this was one.
After taking enough photos of him, I tried coaxing him out of the container by slightly tilting it from one side to the other. Still, rather than hop away to freedom, the frog just kept moving around the container, trying to stay towards the higher area of my tilting action. It was funny, I was trying to get it to go away, yet he wouldn't leave. Maybe he was just a very vain frog and wanted me to take even more pictures, :O
At one point I turned the container completely upside down ... but being a tree frog, he easily stayed suctioned right to the container and just wouldn't let go of it! As a last resort to get him to leave, I started nudging him softly with my finger. He just looked at me for a bit while I nudged, then he proceeded to simply jump right up on my arm and walk up to my shoulder and sit there. :)
I walked over to a nearby tree, placed my shoulder against it, and again nudged the frog toward freedom ... finally, the little frog decided he had enough fun with me for the day, and he climbed up on the tree. Sad to say that I never did see that frog again ... I miss that frog!
