June
27th-30th, 2016. I found a Cope’s Gray Treefrog (Hyla
chrysoscelis) in mid-June. It had arrived near our water containers for the
annual breeding season was chilling out on a window frame. Usually, that’s
where we see them. Just hanging out.
A few
nights ago, I happened to look out closer to dark to find a couple actually…
hunting
on the house wall. Their poses let me see the bright yellow color on the inside
of their thighs that is a cardinal characteristic for identifying this species
in this area. The patterns on their backs indicated that they were different
frogs from the one I had seen in mid-June.
