Thanks to Jason Hoverman, PhD from UC Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
for helping me ID this frog.

Hyla cinerea. This is a common treefrog species throughout the southeastern US and west to central and south Texas. Their calls, which resemble a repetitive "quank," can be heard regularly throughout the spring and summer around various large and small bodies of fresh water. They are outwardly similar to the Squirrel Treefrog (Hyla squirella), although they tend to get slightly larger and are less apt to call mid-day, as the Squirrel Treefrogs do on humid summer days. During the winter, they often seek refuge in the dark spaces under rotting tree bark, though in warmer parts of their range they might remain active year-round. In the active season, they can often be found in and around wetlands, often clinging to vegetation and remaining out of the sun to avoid dehydration.
This treefrog lived life on the edge! While driving home from a family member's house I noticed something stuck to the hood of my car. I pulled over to investigate and found this frog hanging on for dear life! I traveled home with it and then released it in a tree in my backyard to find the other frogs but not until a photoshoot was done!

One rainy evening this past July I arrived home from work and took my trash cans to the curb for pickup. on my return to the house I noticed this fellow trying to remain unseen at the edge of my driveway. He was a very large frog , much larger than any tree frog I had ever seen,(I am guessing he was some sort of tree frog) so I was very excited to get a few photos of him. I quickly went in the house and grabbed my camera and returned. On my return he was still rite were I had last seen him and we had a nice little photo session.
Mexican treefrog (Smilisca baudinii) from buffer zone of Cusuco National Park, Honduras, Central America. June 2010.
This Gray Treefrog was seen near Lake Dunmore in Addison County in mid-October. It's a lot smaller than it looks here - measuring from 1" to 2".
This species is widely distributed in the Amazon Basin.

Cope's treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) are somewhat common in the region where I live. They are seldom seen though unless you look carefully on roads going through habitat on rainy nights. This is a youngster.
