Baja California Tree Frog

Pseudacris hypochondriaca hypochondriaca

Description:

This little frog is a grayish tan color with darker pattern on body. There's a dark stripe from tip of nose, across the eye to its shoulder. The video just shows it breathing :)

Habitat:

It was in a gutter that houses the swimming pool cover. We were cleaning it out getting ready for the season when this little one hopped over. My father placed it on a rock for me so I could get some pics in the sun.

Notes:

"The Baja Caifornia Treefrog, the Northern Pacific Treefrog, and the Sierran Treefrog all used to be considered the same frog: the Pacific Treefrog, but now they are considered to be three species. Together, they occur throughout almost the entire state, and are probably the most commonly seen frogs in the California, and are certainly the most commonly heard. They all look and sound the same, so you need to look at a range map to determine which species you are looking at." - CaliforniaHerps.com
