I didn't know they were so so tiny and small , mostly about 2 à 3 cm and so well hidden between and upon the branches of the bramble...
I re-edited this, so here's the reupload.

Dryophytes cinereus or Hyla cinerea
When I approached this nest box from afar, I expected that the head would be that of a young Tree Swallow, the species that usually occupies this box. Instead, I found this guy who may be smirking at me or may just be a happy fellow.
I assume it is a Gray or Cope's Gray Tree Frog.
Thanks to all my Flickr friends for your kind and generous comments and favourites. I hope you all have a great week, so does my little red eyed tree frog friend.

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."

Sierran chorus frog or Sierran treefrog (Pseudacris sierra) - Pt Reyes National Seashore, California, USA
Photographed along the Seven Bridges Trail in the Van Loon State Wildlife Area in northwestern La Crosse County, Wisconsin.
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.
Red eye treefrogs from the Jacksonville zoo in Florida. I have seen these in the wild in Costa Rica but was not in to photography then unfortunately. Man I gotta get back to central America and shoot!
A Treefrog hangs out in the butterfly nesting box located near the entrance to Green Cay Nature Center & Wetlands. This one looks like he could be a Cuban Treefrog which is an invasive species.
The shot was taken with a Fujifilm X-T2 using an XF 100-400mm OIS f/4.5~5.6 lens @400mm, f/5.6 1/30, and ISO 400. DSCF6559
Apalachicola National Forest, Liberty County, Florida.
I think the treefrog is pine woods treefrog (Hyla femoralis). If not, it is likely squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella). Field guides say that they are difficult to tell apart unless caught and the concealed pattern on the inside of the thigh is examined. I did not catch this frog to look for that.
I've read that it is not unusual to find treefrogs inside the pitchers of these plants. I did not put it there.

This was after I managed to get it off of my shirt and moments before it jumped onto my flash.
Scherman-Hoffman Audubon, Bernardsville, NJ
Arenal, Alajuela, CR
We went on a night tour at Arenal to look for frogs and other creepy-crawlies. We left at 3 and did a bit of birding before it got dark (sunset is around 5:30 there) We got White-Throated Magpie Jay, Grey-Crowned Yellowthroat, Boat-Billed Flycatcher and other goodies in the evening. In the sunset, we headed towards the volcano lookout. The Volcano, shrouded in mist for the whole day became visible after the sun set. Fireflies lit up the path on our way down (but not enough - we needed flashlights!) and we ended up seeing Wolf and Wandering (not Brazillian) spiders as well. I swear I saw a snake when I shone the flashlight into a hole on our way down as well...
Once we got to the ponds at the foot of the volcano we started seeing Giant (Cane) Toads and also a Narrow-Headed Treefrog on a bromeliad.
We were looking for the famous redeye when we finally found not only one but two in the trees above the pond - not only that but we also got a glimpse of the Northern Cat-eyed Snake - a tiny non-venomous snake curled around a branch.
Quite the evening!
