Also known as a Pacific Chorus Frog or a Pacific Green Treefrog. Pseudacris regilla.
Near Bend, Oregon
The sellers of the house told us that sometimes they would get a treefrog in or near the hot tub.
I shrugged it off and figured they were talking about a Leopard Frog or something.
Then l I saw this little guy a few days ago! He hides under the cover and has been here for awhile. I wish I could get more to come!
He's hiding in this photo.
A gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor or Hyla chrysoscelis) from southern Wisconsin. They can't not be uniquely identified by external appearance. They do produce different calls (but even the calls overlap depending on the temperature of the calling male). Only a karyotype can tell them apart definitively. This is a young frog about 1.5 cm SVL and it is sitting on my thumb.
during a walk through a private garden, this little guy suprised me, pleasantly.
when i was little we would spend most of our time at the ditch, a veritable wet wonderland, catching tadopoles for our makeshift aquaria (ice cream buckets stuffed with grass and topped up with ditch water)...after what seemed like years, the tads would transform into pollywogs, then lose their tales all together and become vibrant, jewel-like creatures with sticky feet and skin softer than wet tissue paper. back into the pond they went and soon after, we'd hear their chirping from the trees...
Bird-voiced (Hyla avivoca, left), hybrid, and Gray Treefrog (H. chrysoscelis, right). Choctawhatchee River, FL.
Myakka River State Park, south of Sarasota (Florida) was teeming with wildlife during the winter i spent there ('01-02). Birds, gators, anoles, snakes, deer, frogs... there was something interesting around every bend. I caught this little one late in the day on a dark forest trail: 105 mm macro lens, tripod. Scanned from the original Fujichrome Velvia slide, November 2001.

Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project! I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism... My goal was to accomplish all of this in 2013, but I soon found out that it was more daunting a task than I'd realized. Instead, my new goal is to get through 365 by the end of 2014, still an impressive average of a new species every other day for two years.
Cope's gray tree frog
Thanks to Jason Hoverman, PhD from UC Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
for helping me ID this frog.
The Milkweed was hosting a group of tiny tree frogs. Most were in the shade but a few chose sunny spots. I would think they would not want to be in the heat and sun but they seemed content.
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.
