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

Wow, this makes me remember that there are things to see right outside my house. I sometimes forget, and just go to nature trails and parks to see cool things like this frog. Now I’ll go out and scan the treeline for frogs.
