Mountain Chorus Frog

I hear a chorus of them every night along with the Spring Peepers. I love the sound of them!

Interesting fact about these fellows- they are one of the few frogs around here who can survive without water as long as they're near moist woodsy earth and we've got plenty of that these days!

I think there are some frogs around here. I hear them but haven't seen them. I like the texture and pattern of its skin. Nice close up.

@amyk Thanks Amy- I was poking around my pots that haven't gotten flowers yet and he just leapt right out of one onto one of the deck chairs! I don't know who was more startled- him or me! I know he looks rather large here, but in reality he is no larger than your thumb from the knuckle to the end.

Wonderful shot of this cute little frog. I like the sound of frogs at night, too.

Such a tiny little one but do love their "songs"

[Babs]

He is gorgeous looks as though he is trying to escape

[Diana]

Great close up and texture of this lovely looking frog. I love them but am always startled when one leaps in front of me.

[Bri]

Great close-up,

[Lou Ann]

Great closeup. I’m sure they blend right in to the forest floor!

A lovely frog and capture. I used to have a lot in the garden when we had a pond but now it is filled in I very rarely see one.

[Vesna]

Wonderful colours!

Thank you Wendy- I was surprised to learn that this variety didn't necessarily need a pond.

Thank you Vesna!
