Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor)

[John]

This is a male Gray Tree Frog (Hyla versicolor) photographed calling in East Texas on Saturday night. Identified by call and distribution map. He was about 1.5 meters up in a dead tree in a shallow pond.

All the ones that I've seen do, so probably. That is a very beautiful individual. Nice pic by the way

Hello Frogforum. Does anyone have any suggestions for finding female gray tree frogs?

You should start your own thead Gas.

The yellow leg bands are very interesting to me. While I know both species have the yellow on the legs, is it common for versicolor bands to wrap all the way around like that? (I never get to see them except in your folks pictures, nothing but chrysoscelis here.)
