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!

This little frog is one of the animals that can be handled as it is non venomous. A cute addition I think!
Two species of Treefrog from the same pool of water. The Arizona Treefrog (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.
This Frog jumped onto the window, chasing some insects, late at night.
It was a great opportunity to get a different perspective, a different way to capture an image of him.
I didn't know they were so so tiny and small , mostly about 2 Ã 3 cm and so well hidden between and upon the branches of the bramble...

Sierran chorus frog or Sierran treefrog (Pseudacris sierra) - Pt Reyes National Seashore, California, USA
The dark eye stripe does not change, but the body color and dark markings can quickly change from dark to light, and the body color itself can also change, typically from brown to green or vice versa or a combination of both, in response to environmental conditions.
A study of Hyla (Pseuacris) regilla in Washington concluded that "H. regilla has control over and can change its hue, chroma, and lightness during time periods on the order of minutes." ..."...we support the idea that physiological color change has evolved as a mechanism to allow rapid background matching as a tree frog moves from one location to another."

This poor little guy was on the sidewalk in front of work. I can't imagine how it got there since it is a sea of asphalt. I brought him home to my pond where he will have lots of company.

There were Tree Frogs calling everywhere at the little pond off Clegg meadow. Found this one in the grass......put him on the branch for a picture.
This little guy is about 7/8th in. long. They are common in my yard near outdoor lights (bug central). We also have the standard green treefrogs in abundance. The swamp behind my house has several other species, including pig frogs and bullfrogs. It's quite a harmonious chorus during the warm months.
