Cute little Cuban Tree "Froglets" just a day or two removed from the tadpole transition stage. Found a few of them sitting on a wet leaf in the morning. Three of them would fit on your finger tip.

Cuban Tree Frog Changes Colors
 |
| Cuban Tree Frog |
A Cuban Tree Frog changes colors three times to be light, medium and dark to try and blend in with its surroundings. An athletic and attractive tree frog in the wild it has largely spread through central Florida and is considered an invasive species . It is said to have an irritating skin secretion that discourages predators, but I have seen young ones eaten by Red Rat Snakes. If you let the red rat snakes and other snakes live in and near your backyard ecosystem they will help keep the balance of nature! It is recommended to euthanize these frogs when captured ( http://ufwildlife.ifas.ufl.edu/frogs/cubantreefrog.shtml ) however, I rarely see or hear them in or around the house - this one was found in an old bucket and I couldn't bring myself to capture and kill the creature.

Relaxing Nature Meditation - A Frog and Toad Symphony
Relaxing Nature Meditation: 16 minutes of a "Frog and Toad Symphony". Just add water to the woods behind the Backyard and you have the music of Green Tree Frogs, Cuban Tree Frogs, Eastern Narrow Mouthed Frogs, Bull Frogs, Cricket Frogs, Chorus Frogs and a few similar sounding toads that all come out to take advantage of the temporary bounty of standing water. The diversity of calls ranging from various barks to sounds like sheep and crickets is amazing. There is nothing to see - it's pitch dark - just kick back and enjoy the music of nature!
