I was surprised to find a treefrog (Pine Woods Treefrog, Hyla femoralis) well within the burn area. It was hiding under a dead but unburned palmetto leaf in the spot shown in the previous image. It is possible but seems unlikely that the frog would travel across bare ash to this location in the burn area. I suspect it survived in a shelter somewhere in or near this palmetto clump (shown in the previous image) or up in a tree above the flames.
This cute little immature Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, was hiding on a leaf at Dave Small's place in Athol, Massachusetts.
This canyon treefrog was clinging to the shady side of a rock outcrop in Molino Canyon, just below the overlook in Pima County, Arizona. This is one of the most heavily pigmented specimens I've seen, but it was well-sheltered, and the cooler such cold-blooded "herps" are, the darker they usually are. Incidentally, a fall from this height would have severely injured a human, let alone a treefrog. Good grip!
This tree frog is the real deal. He had to jump on my truck mirror at my house and hung on tight for the 10 mile ride to Wal-Mart. I didn't see him until I was parked. I was able to open the door, catch him and move him to the bushes!

Thanks to Adaire for letting me photograph her froggies at Ecology Camp.
The green treefrog is one of Oklahoma’s most distinctive frogs. This moderately large treefrog has a slender body and smooth skin that is bright green. Another distinctive feature is a white or light yellow lateral line outlined in gray that extends from below the eye to the groin.
Since this little Hyla sp. did not vocalize, I cannot tell if it is the Northern or Southern Gray Treefrog. Both species occur in Cape May, New Jersey. Night of September 25, 2017.
I know that this looks almost exactly like the shot next to it, but I just couldn't pick between the subtle differences of both shots.
