Jan McCormick photographed a Sierran Treefrog, also called a Chorus frog. They are the very small green frogs that can be seen and heard on the Mendonoma coast.

We've certainly had a lot of rain this month, which will be to the liking of all the frogs that call the coast home.

Thanks to Jan, Harm and Rich for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Craig Tooley caught this little treefrog looking up, as if looking at the stars.

A Sierran Tree frog by Craig TooleyI love these little frogs, which are also call Chorus frogs. For such a tiny frog, they have a big voice. Here are two photos Craig took of a Sierran Treefrog in the daylight hours. The pads on its feet give it the ability to climb pretty much anything. They act like suction cups.

Sierran Treefrogs, tiny green frogs, are fun to spot. Karen Tracy found one alongside the Gualala River recently.

These frogs can change color to match their surroundings, but mostly we see them in their green form. They used to be called Pacific Treefrogs, but their name was changed recently.

Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
