Need help identifying?

It does look like a nice healthy gray treefrog and only the males call. From my experience, male tree frogs start calling after you enter REM sleep to maximize the amount of sleep deprivation. Years ago I took my sons out frog hunting and we found several tree frogs and we found them by listening for their calls - DUH! The next night I was frantically searching the viv with a flashlight at 3 am to evict them.

Here are a few sites with frog calls:

LOL That's hysterical For what ever reason the Gray's gather in my yard and pool for their evening chorus. I live in a forest in a lake community with lots of swamp and vernal pools, but you don't hear them anywhere around for miles, but in my pool. 20-30 frogs in your yard can keep you up even with the windows closed and the air conditioning on, having them in a room calling would induce sezures and or muderous rampage
