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. I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. We’re six days into the new year, and I’m still going strong on the resolutions! I hope you’re all enjoying the photos.
I just learned that the orange tail makes this a gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor. Don't worry, we put it right back into the water!
After a long day in the field (and on the side of the road), we returned to find this Northern Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) perched on the side of my car. Kingston, NJ.
A green treefrog I rescued from a bloke's toilet. He couldn't go until the frog went. Frog is now living in my fishpond.
Note the latex glove. Acid in skin is bad for frogs. Toilet bowl = Okay. Human skin = not okay. *shrugs*
I could make a whole album with just pictures of treefrogs. They are so variable and always make for a beautiful picture.

These little treefrogs love hanging out in my yard. I like taking pictures of them so much, I don't even mind all the mosquito bites I get in the process!

He didn't want to get down.. just tucked his front feet under him, got all comfy and looked at me. Doesn't it look like he's grinning?

There is nothing to see here. Just listen. At night our ditch is alive with frogs. You can hear them but not see them. My first attempt was poor quality as I was not close enough. So in this take I try to approach a particularly vocal group. I cannot see them but they are well aware of my presence. And half way through this take they shut up as I get too close
