[j.w]

Nope it was just a chameleon like green color and not big and fat like that one and no decorations of spots or stripes.

like this one?

Well that could be him cuz it looks pretty much the same. I haven't been able to get a real long look at him cuz he hops away into the plants whenever I come near him.

lol congrats! those lil suckers hide well.

I think my big pond is getting full of bullfrogs, going to purge them when they go to sleep for the winter on the bottom of the pond. They are still small, I don't want them to start to eat everything they can in the pond including bathing birds, dragon flies, hummingbirds. They must have come from the river, ow no clue how they got here. The river is around a mile away. I now know the huge tadpoles are bullfrogs, so instead of saving them when I clean the pond they will be ummmmmmmmmmm culled lol.

I hear around 10 plops when I walk up to the big pond. They do that warning peep. The green frogs just go under no noise.

Wow, was able to find 2 frogs of different colors here today. These are different then that bigger green one I saw the other day that was camera shy unless they can change color?

This one was on the floating safety board for the birds that might fall in:



This one was in my pond in the variegated grass plants:

The bottom one, with the eye stripe might be the top one too



Pacific Chorus Frog

Washington designated the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla) as the official state amphibian in 2007 (proposed by a third grade class at Boston Harbor Grade School in North Olympia, Washington). The Pacific chorus frog is a native amphibian found in every county of Washington state.

Notice the distinctive eye stripe of the Pacific chorus frog -

The Pacific chorus frog (also called Pacific tree frog) can be brown, tan, grey or green, and produce their charming sound by puffing up their throat sacs to three times the size of their heads. They are beneficial by eating insects including mosquitoes. Watch and listen to a video of a Pacific chorus frog from Michael Benard's website

I believe the top one is, indeed, Hyla regilla, the Pacific Treefrog or Chorus Frog, but the lower one is either a Red-legged Frog (Rana aurora) or a Spotted Frog (Rana pretiosa). Both have the dark mask with the light stripe underneath, but the Spotted Frog has yellowish or orange undersides on the hind legs, whereas the Red-legged has (obviously) red undersides on the legs.

Thanks guys and I think they are both cute whatever they are!
Here's another photo or 2 of the lower bottom brownish frog:





Oh Oh, I just went out and he has moved to a rock and has something in his mouth and was either trying to get it out or swallow it!
