Pacific Tree Frog

Pseudacris regilla

Pacific Tree Frog basking on a warm log
An October morning at the edge of town.

The pacific tree frog is the most I’ll say about reptiles on this site without promising to learn the group.

You get more reliable views in the hour after first light than at any other time.

My images for this species are all made with available light. I don’t use fill flash in the field.

I’ve never intentionally driven to see one, and I’ve still seen plenty.

Any corrections from herp folks are welcome. My ID is shakier than I’d like.
