10/15/12  I am honored to welcome as a resident (or visitor) in my garden the Pacific Tree Frog (Hyla regilla). He was sitting in the midst of the horsetail that is a part of my water garden. We looked each other over and I told him how pleased I am that he chose to be here. He is tiny -- less than 3" long when sitting and was perfectly camouflaged in the horsetail. I had to look closer to believe my eyes and saw that it was not just wishful thinking on my part. I hear him (maybe other???) serenading from different places in the garden since the rains started.

 

 
As per http://www.northwestwildlifeonline.com/Anura%20Homepage.htm 
 There are several  color variations of the Pacific Tree Frog (Hyla regilla): brown, green, and copper gold. The dark streak running from the nose through the eye is the key to identification of the frog. Despite its name Pacific Tree Frogs spend far more time on the ground than in trees."
