This guy, he's a Gray Treefrog. He loves our spigot.

Hyla chrysocelis

 

Prime Hook. 5/19/18

 

There is no visible physical difference between Hyla chrysocelis and Hyla versicolor, but the call is quite different. H. versicolor has a more melodic sounding, lower pitched, and generally slower call than H. chrysocelis. Here's a good video with examples. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKSwnJS_60E

This Gray Treefrog was seen near Lake Dunmore in Addison County in mid-October. It's a lot smaller than it looks here - measuring from 1" to 2".

Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) found climbing on the porch door.

First time I have seen one in Illinois and in my front yard no less.

I found it hopping across the street as it began to rain on my street. Pretty incredible little creature. I kept letting it jump onto my vertical car window and got to watch it suction its way up my window.

Gray Treefrogs inhabit a wide range, and can be found in most of the eastern half of the United States, as far west as central Texas. They also range into Canada in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba, with an isolated population in New Brunswick.

The Gray Treefrog is capable of surviving temperatures as low as –8°C

These tiny Summer gray treefrogs are truly tiny about the size of a Honey Bee and very easy to overlook.

Even though this little guy is mostly green, it is still a gray tree frog. The species name (versicolor) describes the fact that this frog can be a variety of different colors

GRAY TREE FROG or MOUNTAIN CHORUS FROG (?), Lincoln County, West Virginia, USA. July, 2011. Copyright Tom Turner.

Tiny (<1 cm long) tree frog sitting on a single raspberry leaflet surveying his kingdom. Most likely a very young Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor), but possibly Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis).

Small one, about 2.5 cm long. Backdoor. September 1, 2013.

Cope's Gray Treefrog, Kenosha Co. Wisconsin.

Hyla versicolor. We heard an incredibly loud sound coming from our deck. It sounded like a treefrog, but 100 times louder and deeper. Then we spotted this fellow clinging to the metal lid on our gas barbeque grill, which had amplified his call to an almost alarming amplitude. Wonder if he was thrilled by the effect, or if it attracted any lady frogs.

Aug 2015, tiny Grey Tree Frogs perched on Arrow Head leaves at a small frog pond near my home outside Marietta Ohio. I have learned to look for the frogs on the plants and trees surrounding the pond as the first tree frogs emerge from tadpoles around mid Aug. In fact the last three photos in this series are of a young tree frog which still hasn't completely absorbed his tadpole tail. These little frogs are about the size of a nickle. They are fascinating and a lot of fun to photograph.

Cope's Gray Treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) - This pair was found in a parking deck adjacent to a small drainage area. Moved this pair along with a few other individuals to safer grounds. The male had no intention of releasing his grip... obviously only one thing on his mind.

From the frogpond to frogs - out in Wisconsin. These little guys like to find a place to hide on our balcony at this time of year - they clearly have excellent climbing skills. At first I thought they were toads, but a bit of googling has convinced me that they are gray tree frogs. I put this one on a leaf to have his portrait taken. Apparently, if I'd left him long enough on a green background he would have turned green to match it.

Hyla versicolor - Anothr gray treefrog today.

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.

Don, who used to be the refuge manager here, knew exactly where to find this guy: tucked up in a little crevice between the outer & inner walls of the bird blind. Never in a million years would have found it myself!

 

If the frog looks kinda sleepy, well, he probably is -- we interrupted his daytime sleep, poor thing.
