We are lucky to have an abundance of tree frogs behind our home. They are often on our birdbath. This little cuties was down by the pond.
This little chap made a big croak to my surprise, and I discovered him resting on a perch, wrapped in leaf blankets.

Red Eyed Treefrog in the rain at Laguna in Costa Rica. I loved seeing all the different types of frogs that lived over the pools, high up in the palm trees. It made me wonder how they got up there!

I had to walk with water up to my chest for this photograph. Struggling to keep the camera dry.
Phrynohyas sp.
The gray treefrog tadpoles have a red tail - which is visible around midday but not in the morning or evening light.
I can't believe how long it has been that I have been around but it has been a very crazy last few month and I'm sure a lot of you out there will agree with me!!!
I hope everybody is well. I'll will try to make my way around and check out what you have been posting.
Take care and stay safe!
The green tree frogs have been plenty around here this year. This guy was sitting on our front-door ;-)
A lovely start to the morning but it was near a hundred today. The little Tree Frogs were chilling out by the pond.
Two species of Treefrog from the same pool of water. The Arizona Tree Frog (Hyla wrightorum) and the Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor) both inhabit temporary pools where rain water collects during the early monsoon for breeding. Most of the reproductive cycle takes place during the first heavy rains, but some Canyon Treefrogs will live within permanent creeks, rivers, and lakes where various life stages may be found intermittently.
Mark, the Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) changes colors, not typically to blend into an environment, but based on temperature and mood. This is similar to chameleons, who often communicate with one another through their flashy displays. Interestingly, the treefrog's skin is fused to his skull, an adaptation that minimizes water loss. Also, so invasive is this species that if you get caught selling one in Hawaii (where the these frogs have colonized Oahu), you could wind up in jail and paying fines of up to $25,000!
Mark lives in captivity after being rescued from what would have been an ill-fated trip stowing away on a greenhouse shipment.
European treefrog.
Last Saturday looking for this beautiful creatures. Took a while to find them.

So i`m on line at Home Depot buying a new Rhododendron and something starts moving about in the plant and hopping across the leaves and sure enough it`s this little green tree frog commonly found in the southern states. (The cashier being the girlie girl that she was got skeeved out by it and didn`t appreciate when i went RRAAAA! at her when she went to scan the upc code...lol.) It stayed in the plant no problem for the ride home and was resting comfortably still on the plant in the backyard till i started poking my camera in his face. The Rhodo did have aphids on it when i puchased it and i`d say it was safe to assume that he was feeding on the aphids. (BTW, it was a mild case of aphidism and on a strong plant they generally cause no harm, especially when being eaten! )
I left him on the bush and i`ll let him ride out the rest of the hot NY summer in which i`m sure he`ll feed plenty and live happily.
The Lowland Burrowing Treefrog (Smilisca fodiens) is one of Arizona's most unique inhabitants calling the low desert of south central Arizona home. It emerges only for the summer monsoon rains to breed in temporary puddles of water where a large number of frogs can be found in a single pool creating a chorus that can be heard from a very far distance. Here is a loud chorus heard following a heavy monsoon storm!
