15.When you think of tree frogs,heat and rainforests come to mind.While the equatorial regions are home to many tree frogs,including the popular and colorful red-eyed tree frogs,the northeastern United States is home to gray tree frogs.If you live in an area with gray tree frogs,you are more likely to hear them than see them.Gray tree frogs will call from up high during the day and well into August; many people mistake their calls for birdcalls.Their color can be different,even with the same tree frog at different times of the day.Younger tree frogs are sometimes green instead of gray.
If you're trying to find and observe these guys,you might notice that they will call loudly until you get close enough to find their location.Then they will go silent,becoming almost invisible in the leaves.They like to lie close to the foot of trees,but unless they are low down they can't easily be found.
One tree frog can eat 100 mosquitoes in a moment.Sometimes at night during the chorus,they are a little easier to find as there are many frogs in the water,and they are usually"love drunk".They can be picked up and will continue to call from your hand.In fact,calling is a big deal for gray tree frogs.It takes a lot of energy,and males will often have to take a night off to recover after spending time in the chorus.Females seem to prefer the long calls to the short ones,and will head in the direction of those calls.
So next time you hear that"bird"calling from the trees in the summer,take a closer look and listen.You may find tree frogs closer to your homes than you think!
