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.
This treefrog jumped from very high, and landed right in front of me, Spider-Man style. Scared the crap out of me. He seemed fine, though. Weirdo.
This treefrog lived life on the edge! While driving home from a family member's house I noticed something stuck to the hood of my car. I pulled over to investigate and found this frog hanging on for dear life! I traveled home with it and then released it in a tree in my backyard to find the other frogs but not until a photoshoot was done!

This species is widely distributed in the Amazon Basin.

Sierran treefrog
After trapping over 6000 crayfish, we finally see the frogs coming back over 10 years. Unfortunately, the vandalizing of our traps will soon terminate this meaningful program if we can't stop the vandals.
One rainy evening this past July I arrived home from work and took my trash cans to the curb for pickup. on my return to the house I noticed this fellow trying to remain unseen at the edge of my driveway. He was a very large frog , much larger than any tree frog I had ever seen,(I am guessing he was some sort of tree frog) so I was very excited to get a few photos of him. I quickly went in the house and grabbed my camera and returned. On my return he was still rite were I had last seen him and we had a nice little photo session.
Also known as the Mexcian Blue-spotted Treefrog, Smilisca cyanosticta. We found several of these in the Columbia River Forest Reserve, in southern Belize
Found along mountain stream in Oso Canyon in Santa Barbara County, CA. I think it is Pseudacris regilla. Can someone confirm?
Coexisting with what I think is Pseudacris cadaverina in the same area (within a meter or 2).
Mexican treefrog (Smilisca baudinii) from buffer zone of Cusuco National Park, Honduras, Central America. June 2010.
