Hey, there were trees under those Lygodium microphyllum vines! Who’d a thunk it!
From the handle on an herbicide sprayer to the middle of a windsurfing board, I find frogs in all sorts of fun places at work! Woooooo Florida!
(That Green Tree Frog has been there for three weeks and I really need to move the board, so I built a little frog home out of a small upturned bucket and he seems to like it!)
Being a Green Treefrog. The habitat description on this page should also include “occasionally found attached to the back of a paddle board which is leaned up behind a herpetology lab…”
Don’t fooled by the (beautiful) plumage, this is an immature Little Blue Heron. It was very windy on my canal this weekend, so the little dude had to to all he could to keep his feathers straight and not fall off the rail. Which made for an entertaining show!
This is a Barking Treefrog (yes, it does bark, sort of… click the link to learn more and hear the sound). As if that wasn’t cool enough, the little fat dude can change color. Scroll through the slideshow below to see how the same frog goes from brown speckledish on pavement to bright green on a palm leaf, all in less than 15 minutes. Super cool (and super green).
