Since we moved to Iowa, we enjoyed summer nights filled with deafening chorus of tree frogs. It took me about ten years to catch one of these elusive creatures. This morning I went to set up grill on the deck and look who was hiding under the cover - tiny gray tree frog!
A calling male Cope's Gray Treefrog from the floodplain of the Ochlockonee River in north Florida. This species is abundant in hardwood swamps throughout the southeastern United States.
My husband took this photo of a gray tree frog as I held it in my hand. I released it right after the photo was taken. May 2007.
Another 1" or so long Gray Treefrog that is living up to the "Gray" part of it's name. It landed on my head as I was opening the door to the barn, then jumped on to this cement/stone wall and blended in quite well.

This is a young grey tree frog (hyla versicolor). These frogs can be all green, all grey or a mixture of both. The little ones I've seen are mostly green. The one adult we found was ALL grey. It looked like a rock.

On 24 Aug 2014 I stopped by a small pond near my home in hopes of catching a few photos of bullfrogs. It was still early morning with a light dew on the grass and as I was standing by the pond quiet and still hoping to spot the bullfrogs I started to notice the grasses plants and foliage around me and the pond. Then I noticed the first Tiny Gray tree Frog sitting on a leaf just a foot or less away from me. Then I noticed another and another. In all I spotted about a dozen of the quiet little fellows around me but I am sure there were more I didn't see. If I had to pick a real "OH Wow " moment from all my photos this past summer this would be it. These little frogs were amazing so tiny and well camouflaged that I was standing with them all around me and only by luck spotted them
I was picking up sticks in my yard on a cloudy late afternoon and was on my way to throw this in the yard waste dumpster when I noticed a little passenger. It cooperated for a photo session.
Cope's Gray Treefrog - Hyla chrysoscelis
Location: Durham NC (USA)
Cope's (chrysoscelis) is the species found in this immediate area--we do not appear to have any of the virtually identical Hyla versicolor.
Gray Treefrog, Somerset County, Maine. I found and heard dozens within only a few acres of land. They will call during all times of day into early evening in wet springs and summers. Their call in early spring is always a premonition of warmer weather to come.
As I went out to get the mail today I looked over at the house and saw this frog. At first I didn't know if it was a frog or some other kind of critter. On further inspection it moved a little. I went in and got the camera because it looked odd. Almost white. I think it's a gray tree frog.

A tiny juvenile gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) stayed a little late on our deck last night. When I moved the grill cover, there he was, very dark green - almost black to match the cover. After observing him for a while (half a day!), my little boy agreed to let him go. This is the moment when surely to its amazement, the found himself free once again.
