Notes:

Rescued this little guy from a grackle on our lawn. Some kind of tree frog but I can't find a photo online.

Thanks for the ID. Interesting that he was all spread out in the middle of the lawn after the grackle incident - I wondered if he did that to make himself harder to swallow. I thought he was dead but he was just fine and we took him back to the undergrowth. Yes, he's very cool, I wonder how long it will be until we see another. Another local hotel owner has a pic of one on his cell phone so I imagine they're not that uncommon, just really hard to spot.

Fantastic frog!! It must be an unusual frog to find, never seen it in any spottings!! Hope you get an ID is such an unusual frog spotting, nosarasue.

Well done - he must be so pleased ! I like the touches of red and I notice he's got webbing between toes. Hope you get an ID for him.
