The gem of the New Jersey pine barrens, this beautiful treefrog species is only found here and a few scattered locations in the southeastern United States. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is a denizen of swamps and acid bogs that are scattered across the pinelands. The Pine Barrens Treefrog is listed as a Threatened species in New Jersey.

While picking the dying blooms from flowers out of the garden/train layout, this little guy jumped onto my hand. We always take baby pictures of all the creatures in our garden. So now we have Toads, Frogs and Tree Frogs in the Garden.
Taken with Sony Zeiss 85mm f1.4 on Sony alpha55, Taronga Zoo Sydney. We were there for a work function - popped a few photos on the way home.
Size: Usually 1 to 1.5 in.
Identification: Body is tan, green, gray, or brown, and may be marked with splotches; skin is smooth. Upper lip is often yellowish on bright green individuals. Sides may be marked with broken, whitish stripes. Like other treefrogs, this species has enlarged, sticky toepads. Squirrel Treefrogs (Hyla squirella) are often distinguished from other similar species by process of elimination.
Breeding:March to August; lays eggs singly or in pairs on the substrate or attached to vegetation. Call is raspy and somewhat duck-like. To hear frog calls, visit the USGS Frog Call Lookup and select the species you want to hear from the common name drop-down list.
Diet: Ants, beetles, crickets, spiders, termites, and other small invertebrates.
Habitats: Found throughout Florida and in the Keys on buildings and in shrubs and trees in urbanized and natural areas, including hardwood hammocks, bottomland and floodplain forests and swamps, pine-oak forests, and pine flatwoods. Overwinters in groups under loose bark and in tree holes. Breeds in shallow, temporary pools of water that lack fish, including marshes, wet flatwoods, and flooded ditches; prefers open wetlands.

Im not sure but am wondering if this is a Gray Treefrog. Taken through the glass of my back door. Mt Juliet, Tn.
Unfortunately, this species is non-native and invasive in Florida. It is believed that they arrived in the US by hitchhiking onto shipments of fruit and tropical plants being exported out of Cuba. For such a small innocent-looking amphibian, it causes a lot of trouble. They eat native lizards, frogs, insects, and even small snakes such as the Key Ringneck Snake, a rare species. It also seems to have some sort of toxin in its skin, because after handling it I rubbed my eyes and they burned for about a half hour.
I found his Green Treefrog at Cades Cove this summer. The interesting thing is they are not usually found west of the Appalachian Mountains. A fellow photographer discovered a whole group of these guys and contacted a biologist at the Tremont Institute. They responded that there are no Green Treefrogs in the Great Smoky Mountains. Ummm....I know for a fact there are, the proof is in the picture.
Hyla avivoca from South Carolina. These treefrogs do not range far from the Savannah River in SC. They are superficially similar in appearance to Cope's Gray Treefrogs (H. chrysoscelis), who will sometimes be found calling in close proximity to these frogs. The Bird-Voiced Treefrog is smaller and is limited to oxbows and swamps along the river floodplain. They can often be heard calling, which sounds somewhat like a squeaky wheel, high atop the cypress trees surrounding bodies of water.
