I was driving at a snail's pace down a back road - looking for warblers. I noticed this knot in the tree looked weird - so I pulled over and took a closer look. I was pleasantly surprised to see a gray tree frog! I went back later and he had moved on :)
Lynda heard some tree frog chatter on the deck last night and graciously volunteered to holfda flashlight while tried to get some photos. Not very good shots, but these guys are amazing. About 7/8 inch long, from tip of blunt nose to tip of disappearing tail.

Found camouflaged on a branch by Bryce, while Dad was in the nearby brush searching for box turtles. Western MA
These cute, plump little frogs are good climbers. The mottled gray coloring serves as camouflage on tree trunks, though it clearly also works on concrete. Hyla chrysoscelis, Hylidae. Central IL Summer 2012.
Sierran Treefrog (Pseudacris sierra) a/k/a Sierra Chorus Frog. There has been a debate raging about classification of this Treefrog for more than a decade. Is the familiar Pacific Treefrog one species (Pseudacris regilla) or three (P. regilla, P. sierra and P. hypochondriaca)? I put the question to USGS frog researcher working in Yosemite. His answer: "It depends on whether you ask a taxonomist [one] or a molecular biologist [three]." What's a poor photographer to do when the academics can't sort it out? Sweetwater Marsh. Buttterfly Valley Botanical Area. Plumas National Forest. Near Quincy. Plumas Co., Calif.

Shot as the last rays of the day permeated a bit into his burrow. 1/40s exposure, ISO 1600 on the 40D with fill flash from the 580ex, uncropped image. I had to fully extend the legs and center column of my manfrotto tripod to get this height, and then manually focus while looking through liveview. I shot some with direct flash as the main light source also, but his environment gets lost in those.

Smooth-skinned and equipped with goofy clown hands, the bird-voiced treefrog is easily confused with her close relatives, the gray treefrogs, save for her relatively small stature and distinctly avian voice. A devout believer in the summer fling, when a suitor sings 'wit-wit-wit-wit' from shrubs surrounding temporary pools our heroine heads out for night of passion that leads to more goofy little treefrogs.
Hyla avivoca, Illinois.
