Nice shot. Those Gray tree frogs have an amazing ability to change the color, the patterns, and the texture of their skin to match their surroundings. They are mostly nocturnal and sleep during the day out in plain view. I think in Nebraska Cope's gray tree frog (Hyla chrysoscelis) is the one you see. Wonderful critters. They will hang around porch lights at night to catch insects. I can usually get them to take insects from my hand.
They have a distinctive call that reminds me of a cheap kids plastic whistle.
Beauty is in the eye if the beholder! Yesterday I stepped out on concrete beyond our front door. I noted a crumble of concrete and almost kicked it off when I noticed that the crumble had an eye. This picture is a closeup of my beautiful neighbor who is less than an inch in length.
Love these! Another beautiful bird to admire. Thanks for sharing these with us!
Thanks lovemypups! I almost have more "young owl" pictures than I do of my 15 grandchildren. I also admire owls beauty and have also discovered that an owl can have a pretty tough life!
This morning I viewed mom, dad and young great horned owl in a tree as the sun rose. Dad was running crow interference for young owl. These photos were of young owl cringing and looking as dad faced off the crows on the other side and higher in the cottonwood tree!
Hard to tell without being able to blow the pic up.
