gray tree frog

Thanks, Mitch. You are correct. He's got the yellow inner thighs!

You could try looking at the size of his/her red blood cells to determine if it's chrysocelis or versicolor, but a little mystery never hurt anybody

Third times the charm: WERE not nocturnal.

I only got few hour sleep last night.:/

We're NOT nocturnal.

Good on ya'. We have our property registered under the Australian "Land for Wildlife" scheme. There's a big turquoise 'Land for Wildlife' sign at the top of our drive. We're planning to apply for 'Gardens for Wildlife' designation as well, as we are slowly but surely replacing non-native with natives in the gardens about the house. ps Most of my spottings come from our property. pps If only most of our critters we're nocturnal, I'd have lots more spottings. Sigh. I could start posting scat. ;)

Wow, that's pretty intense. Very important work as well, we've lost a whole lot of wildlife corridors, and all the exotic plants that are used in gardening is having a detrimental effect on our native populations of plants and animals.

Thanks! My yard is the legal test case for naturalized gardening in Chattanooga, TN. I've had 3 court cases for "overgrowth and pestilence" dismissed against my conservation project. My albums are legal documents, and an attempt to convince folks to turn their yards into native wildlife corridors, and interconnect them into greenways: http://www.facebook.com/lanaland?ref=pro...

Lana, I just looked through your frog album on Facebook, you have so many wonderful photos!

I agree with Mitch on the ID. Without a genetic analysis or recording of its mating call though, you won't be able to get it down to species. Isn't that amazing?
