Gray Tree Frog

Hyla versicolor

I noticed a couple visitors on the deck the other night and got the camera out. I didn’t see the markings on the climbing frog until I saw the photograph.

This is the only true tree frog found in New York State. That fact made me feel pretty confident I correctly identified the little bug eater. They’re just over an inch long and can change color to match their surroundings.

I don’t know if the brown one was trying to match my hat or the dirt on it.

The other was disturbed from it’s place on the deck and started to climb a plant stand.

No my eyes aren’t that bad. It was dark out
