Sierran Treefrogs, also know as Chorus treefrogs, are usually bright green with black markings on their heads on either side of their eyes. John Forte found one sitting still on a leaf, as if waiting for his/her close-up!

This tiny frogs can change their color to a reddish brown. Stacy Lore photographed this treefrog changing from green to brown.

While tiny, the males have a very big voice! I have one in my courtyard now, occasionally giving out "ribbit, ribbit" calls.

Thanks to John and Stacy for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

We had almost a half inch of rain the past two days, a blessing. Today the clouds have departed leaving us with sunshine and the wonderful smells of wet forests. As a friend said, "the forests are singing!"
