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.
A Gray Tree Frog clings to a tree.
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
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).
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.
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
Hylidae: Hyla chrysoscelis; calling male with distended vocal sac
Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge, near Cedar Key, Florida
Gray Treefrog that we moved from the top of a window that was destined to be closed (resulting in a frog squishing) on to the relative safety of a Canna Lily.
Lighting info-
-Sun camera left and behind.
-Sunpak 433d in small 8"x6" softbox camera right to keep camera right side of frogs face from being in shadow.
-Small black card above and camera left to block the sun from hitting the frogs face and blowing out, but not blocking the light on it's body to get the shadow to show.
-Flash triggered with rf-602's
-Sun powered by fusion
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.
(Cobb County, GA)
*Identification based on call
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.
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.
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.
Photographed on my property in central Oklahoma, on 22 May 2019.

Waldo hanging out on a Sansevieria 'Moonshine'. It's a nice silvery variety of snakeplant with nice broad leaves for a frog to spend the day on.
Lighting info:
-Sunpak 433d in small softbox camera right, white reflector camera left .
-Triggered with rf-602s
-Still inside his vivarium, but with the front door opened so no shooting through glass required.

Young Gray Treefrog (Hyla sp.) resting by day on the leaf of an ornamental Zinnia (Zinnia sp.), Ramsey County, Minnesota
Gray TreeFrog - Hyla chrysoscelis. Well it found the flower pot. When pot is watered it comes to the drain and poses for the photographer
(Hyla chrysoscelis). Jasper County, Texas. This individual was found calling amidst a large chorus of Hyla chrysoscelis, Hyla versicolor, and Acris crepitans in the Big Thicket region of East Texas.
This little guy somehow ended up atop our "Topsy Turvy" tomato planter. My daughter found him this morning, just sitting atop the plastic cover. I've never seen one of these before, and come to find out, not only are they an arboreal frog, they also can camouflage. Clearly that wasn't happening when I took this shot! Cute little fellow!
Tyr, with his messed up left hand, hanging out on a big fat Pothos vine. I had actually planned to trim this particular section of the plant as it's starting to overgrow the vivarium, but he took a shine to it before the pruners came out.
Lighting info:
-Parchment paper placed above and behind to the camera left, and a larger piece camera right.
-Sunpak 433d firing through each piece of paper.
-Triggered by rf-602's.
-Shot through the glass of the tank.
