This Gray Treefrog was seen near Lake Dunmore in Addison County in mid-October. It's a lot smaller than it looks here - measuring from 1" to 2".

Hyla versicolor. We heard an incredibly loud sound coming from our deck. It sounded like a treefrog, but 100 times louder and deeper. Then we spotted this fellow clinging to the metal lid on our gas barbeque grill, which had amplified his call to an almost alarming amplitude. Wonder if he was thrilled by the effect, or if it attracted any lady frogs.
Taken during our airboat tour. The guide stopped to give us some history about the plant this little treefrog was hanging onto and it wasn't until later that we even noticed the guy. My sister held the stem of the plant still while I took the photo.

Cope's treefrogs (Hyla chrysoscelis) are somewhat common in the region where I live. They are seldom seen though unless you look carefully on roads going through habitat on rainy nights. This is a youngster.
grey treefrog, green phase. these are about the size of the first knuckle on my pinkie finger. once you learn to spot them, though, they're everywhere in the long grass by the frog pond.
Same as previous frog shot but cropped a bit with slightly warmer processing.
I believe this is an Eastern Gray Tree Frog, Hyla versicolor. I found a couple of these out there and didn't realize they can change from the above color to bright green in a short period of time. Pretty cool! At the time I figured they were different species of frogs.

The Squirrel Treefrogs in this series hide during the day in a space under a wood-siding-shingle of a house. At dusk they come out to hunt in the back yard of the residence. Their comings and goings are very regular. There are more than 20 at the residence. They are outstanding climbers. It is not currently known where their tadpole stage is spent at this location (shallow standing water required for 25-55 days). Classification: Amphibia, Anura, Hylidae, Hyla squirella
