Hyla cinerea. This little one was hanging out on the back wall of our post office around 9:30 PM Wednesday night.
Cuban Treefrog. Notice the large bumps or warts on the back, the large toepads much wider than the toes, and the huge bug eyes. These frogs are believed to be causing the decline of our native treefrogs.
The green treefrog is one of Oklahoma’s most distinctive frogs. This moderately large treefrog has a slender body and smooth skin that is bright green. Another distinctive feature is a white or light yellow lateral line outlined in gray that extends from below the eye to the groin.
This green treefrog was one of 15 amphibians Jeff Hall and Mike Campbell collected for the amphibian identification portion of the workshop.
gray treefrog - their mating cycle is just starting. This one was quite tame. Let me get close and even move it to a better backdrop.

One of our "mailbox frogs" had been positioned on the mailbox door when I retrieved today's delivery and allowed a photo shoot. Unfortunately, I suspect it's a juvenile Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis), which is an invasive species. Indicators are large eyes, warty skin, white stripe near the mouth, and large toe pads. I'm awaiting ID confirmation. Among other things, Cuban Treefrogs feed on this area's native frog population.
It's now clear to me that one way the frogs get into the mailbox is through a rather large gap between the hinged door and the box itself.
