Well if we'd like to be accurate, technically there is no such thing as a toad -- they're all frogs.

tree frog
What you have there is a Grey tree frog. A freind of mine had one for several years, after she found it on her licence plate when she returned from golfing 100 miles away. Here we have Pacific tree frogs, which we can hear sing now and then throughout the winter.

Thanks for the info, Nancy! I did a Google search and it says they're called a Cope's or Eastern Grey Tree Frog - looks just like mine! |

How big is your cute little visitor, Ethan? All our frogs and toads are just starting to come out of hiding and go into the pond and look for mates in the garden.

He's only about an inch and a half long...not very big! I wish it were time for our frogs to come out of hibernation...we've still got another couple months before it's warm enough. I cannot wait for spring!!! |

Winter Greenhouse visitor
I'll know spring has sprung when I hear a little critter I've never seen sing all night. It is a frog/toad and does not croak. His song is quite musical. Someone once upon a time told me what it was and I did not take note. Whatever the case I'm just waiting to hear him.

I am enjoying this post. That little frog is majorly cute and you and the plants now have a very appropriate mascot. His motto should be "Bugs beware froggy is there!" Al
