Frog number 2. I have two frogs around a little landscape pond and all I have to do is play a tree frog sound I downloaded, and these two frogs will get fired up. I noticed this frogs toe keeps getting stuck to the bottom of his neck.
By the way, I'm no video expert, but this camera takes really nice video. Figured why not play with it a little. Plus I have no video editing software, that I know of.
I've been up early this week and have found some fascinating things in the garden, including this gray tree frog that spent half the day on the petal of this rudbeckia. Later, it moved to a shady leaf just below the blossoms, about two inches away from another tiny tree frog! I didn't get a picture of the two together, but it was pretty amazing.
Photographed on my property in central Oklahoma, on 5 May 2006.

I have been searching for one of these awesome frogs for a few years now and they blend in to the branches they hang out on so well that up till this point I struck out....Last night Becky and I were going to Blockbuster to rent a movie and she spotted this beauty! Where you ask? Climbing up the front of my snow white garage door eating bugs. . .I kept him overnight in a suitable enclosure I had already set up for such an occasion. I photographed him first thing thismorning and released him into the shrubrow next to the garage. This is my favorite North American Frog and after searching for years to photograph one in it's "proper enviernment" it was a gift for it to just walk into my life. Hopefully I will see him again someday.

The Gray Treefrog has the ability to change colour from gray to a brilliant emerald green! Not only is it the chameleon of the frog world, but they also have the ability to almost freeze solid during hibernation! I'd bet the cryogenics scientists will tap into this little creatures secrets?
The two species of gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor and Hyla chrysoscelis) are nearly identical in appearance and habits, but only Hyla chrysoscelis occurs in southern Indiana.
I like to make friends with frogs (all the animals I see), and this Gray Treefrog was kind enough to humor me...
(Hyla versicolor)
I found this grey tree frog outside of my house. I never named her or anything but she was huge compared to the one I was keeping as a pet.

I found this little guy inside the house, hanging out on the chair railing. Here he is post-release.
