In the back yard of my in-law's home...

Happy #WildlifeWednesday! Today we are looking at the squirrel treefrog (Hyla squirella). This little cutie gave our D03-FL field technician quite a surprise during LAI (leaf area index) when she tried to unravel the flag to read it. These tree frogs are always hiding in our flagging. They prefer areas with moisture that provide shelter and food, such as swamps, marshes, edges of lakes and streams, trees, gardens, shrubs, and houses. Squirrel treefrogs can be found all throughout the Southeast and are very common to see at D03’s sites.

Cope's treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis) from Chicagoland. I took this picture just to show the beautiful yellow "flash" colors on the inner thighs and back of legs. Most people think this is to confuse predators as the frog leaps away.

I've been hearing these frogs quite a bit recently. I fought my way through branches, spider webs, and mud before reaching them. This frog was the only one I could get a obscured shot at. Maybe next time I can get a photo of one calling, as it's throat bubble is rather impressive.

Common Gray Treefrog on our deck. As I was watching it an ant came by and it ate it.

Found along mountain stream in Oso Canyon in Santa Barbara County, CA. I think it is Pseudacris cadaverina. Can someone confirm?

Coexisting with what I think is Pseudacris regilla in the same area (within a meter or 2).

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.

Cape Melville Treefrog (Litoria andiirrmalin)

Hyla arenicolor (canyon treefrog). Found this frog in a rockpile next to a culvert on I-17 just north of Munds Park area.

Thanks to Steve Hale for the ID help! From Steve's email:

It is the common tree frog of Arizona and are usually found in nooks and cracks above the water along streams up to about 7,000 feet. They are real variable in color; grays, browns and salt and pepper, rarely with a splash of green, leading to an easy way to remember their name "Hyla are-any-color."

Green Tree Frog

(Hyla cinerea)

Gray treefrogs breed in May when they move to breeding ponds. Clusters of up to 30 eggs are attached to vegetation near the surface of the water. The eggs hatch in three to six days. Tadpoles transform within two months. Adults reach maturity within two years

Sandylands preserve

Gray Tree-frogs, Wood Frogs & Spring Peepers can freeze solid in the winter. Their ability to withstand the cold gives them a jump (sorry) on the breeding season. They prefer ponds and lakes surrounded by low-laying vegetation. They lay their eggs singly, attatching them to plants under the water.
