Tonight we were tooling around the yard and noticed the calling of gray treefrogs near the wetland. On closer investigation we notice the calling was coming from the barn and then...
...found this little cutie on one of the downspouts!:
Yes, this dude must be studying sound engineering! He was about 8 inches back inside the downspout and, as you can see by his expanded throat, calling away:
What more can we say than "nature's wonders never cease to amaze!"
Marvelous! I wish I could have heard the amplified call -- that must have been fun. To think of all the work you did on the place, how far it's come, what great habitat you've created for so many critters!
ReplyDeleteYes, you would have loved it!!! We were flipping out at the total cuteness of that little frog. :) We hope you are seeing lots of frogs too!!
DeleteI wonder if it will attract a super female?!?!
ReplyDeleteI know! He sat in there for two days and now he is gone. He must have succeeded!!! :)
DeleteThat fellow looks very pleased with himself. Was the other one just above on the pipe? It's a romantic love story.
ReplyDeleteThe other one was above on the pipe a few feet away. They each claimed their own pipe probably trying to lure lovely ladies in. :)
DeleteHa! How cute is that?? I went camping this past week and a frog got into the shower house! There was a young girl in there about 10 yrs old I asked her if she was afraid of frogs, she said no, so she picked him up and set him outside...I had the dogs with me...so i was glad to find another set of helping hands!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome that little gal liked frogs! She's a cool kid - I can tell without even having met her!
DeleteHi J&S... Fabulous post !! I just love these little guys and to get a picture with the the extended throat , just great!!
