Hyla versicolor - We found it in our home in Carmel, New York. For this photo we put it in a small dish then we took it outside to a nearby pond, where it hopped away.
To see how the same frog looked outside follow this link:
A new piece of driftwood went into the frog vivarium the other day. Waldo has become rather attached to it:).

Heard this little frog's big voice outside the house. Went out and found him and snapped a quick pic in the rain. Caught him and placed him in my shade bed which should be good habitat for him. Maybe I can find him again and get a better photo. Haven't had one in the yard in four or five years.
Another gray tree frog waiting around. You can hear a recording of this species here: www.alanwolf.org/frog-calls.
We discovered a couple of these hiding under pots on the cottage deck. They can change colour from mottled grey to green.
This is a typical Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor. We found it on a sunny hillside in rural farmland.
Bon Bini is "welcome" in Papiementu. We welcomed a visitor to our home on Saturday. It's a gray tree frog hanging from Sebastiaan's sneaker :o)

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.

This is another shot from the Gray Tree Frog series from Howell, Michigan. I just stumbled across this guy in our friends landscaping.
I found this nice shot on one of my old memory cards. This one is a juvenile showing typical juvenile coloration. Even though they are called "gray" treefrogs, juveniles are usually bright green to help match their surrounding in late summer, when they metamorphose. This green coloration hides them well in duckweed (as they are metamorphosing) and then low shrubs and grass as they venture onto land. The two captive juveniles i keep now are gray, which is not as common as the green variety at this age.

We found a young grey tree frog (Hyla versicolor) sitting quietly in the grass. She eventually made it to the trunk of an old pear tree where she blended in perfectly with the rough bark.
The younger grey tree frogs are bright green. They eventually turn a very light mottled grey color with the appearance of maple bark or a light piece of granite. This one still has a very faint hint of green on her skin.

An adult grey tree frog (Hyla versicolor). When they are smaller, they are partially green. This one is about the size of a prune and is all grey with the distinctive bright yellow inner thighs. (see the juvenile "green phase" colors here: flic.kr/p/vF8FWG)

Grey Tree Frog are variable in color owing to their ability to camouflage themselves from gray to green
Cope's Gray Treefrog - Hyla chrysoscelis (Dryophytes chrysoscelis)
This individual was lollygagging around in a little roadside puddle mid-morning in Durham NC. I have video/audio of them calling in the puddle from a few days prior. I believe that rapid trill verifies the ID as Hyla chrysoscelis. (Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toads were also calling.)
www.inaturalist.org/observations/86241230
Note, also, that chrysoscelis seems to be the only species found in the lower Piedmont of North Carolina, as opposed to the nearly identical H. versicolor.
I used a circular polarizing filter to suppress glare off the water's surface.

Im not sure but am wondering if this is a Gray Treefrog. Taken through the glass of the back door. Mt Juliet, Tn.
What I said when I finally spotted this little critter.
After three days of listening to these guys sounding like a Red-bellied Woodpecker caught in my chimney, I asked Mr. Google what makes a sound similar to said woodpecker. It's no wonder I had trouble finding it. It seems there were more than one outside my home, carrying on from time to time.
I didn't know before this what sound these guys made. It really is amazing how similar it is to the sound made by the Red-bellied. I haven't found this one's mate yet, but I belive it is hanging out somewhere around the chimney wall. I also didn't want to fuss around there much because Mrs. Robin has built a nest in that area and I don't want to disturb her any more than I need to.
Pardon the mulch mess. I've been waiting for it to deteriorate before replacing it, hopefully with rock this time.
