Hyla chrysoscelis picture with a good view of the flash coloration on the inside of the rear leg. I think the hidden color on this species is one of it's best features.

I have seen many treefrogs around this area but this is by far the smallest one I've come across. It was hanging out in the garden by the deck.
These are yearly visitors and they definitely make themselves known with their loud and distinct call.

Thanks to Adaire for letting me photograph her froggies at Ecology Camp.
This guy (gal?) was hanging out on the side of the garage door when we got home today. Tree frogs are the coolest, and I love how they sing at night. Music to my ears.
