Some leaves had baby green tree frogs in them. It was neat to see these native frogs that are rare in my backyard.
Hyla squirella | Albany, Dougherty County (Coastal Plain), Georgia, USA | 24 May 2011
The Squirrel Treefrogs in this series hide during the day in a space under a wood-siding-shingle of a house. At dusk they come out to hunt in the back yard of the residence. Their comings and goings are very regular. There are more than 20 at the residence. They are outstanding climbers. It is not currently known where their tadpole stage is spent at this location (shallow standing water required for 25-55 days). Classification: Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae, Hyla squirella
Closeup photo of a European Tree Frog (Latin name Hyla Arborea). They like to sit in the sun and can usually be found on the branches of their favorite bushes: brambles. European Tree Frogs are pretty small, adults are generally between 4 and 5 cm.

This is a juvenile frog. Two Hyla species (H. chrysoscelis and H. versicolor) are common to this area. They can only be distinguished by one chromosome number and a faster trilling rate. The frogs will change color to gray or green; depending on temperature or background. The tadpoles had a distinctive reddish colored tail.
