In the next few weeks the full spring chorus of Pseudacris regilla will begin; a fabulous sound. We do hear the odd "wreck-it" through out the year as an individual of these minute amphibians stretch their vocal chords. Pacific Treefrogs lay their eggs in shallow water, but are found throughout the property as adults--in flowers, on the deck, in the house or woodpile, in pots and sometimes even on trees. The colours range from coppery tan to bright green, but there always is the dark line through the eye.

Thanks Sherman! I think that it is fun... The cries of "who's turn is it?", "ackkk, I am sure I had a photo" and "crap -this was going to be easy to identify" now fill the house in the evenings!
