The Gray Treefrog is 1 - 3 inches in length with rough skin which is greenish or brownish to gray in color. Dark blotches can also be seen on the back of the treefrog with a light spot with a dark outline found below the eye. The undersides of the thigh are bright yellowish-orange. Their call is a loud trill that is often heard during the breeding season from April to August.

Gray Treefrogs are found in trees and shrubs near bodies of permanent water such as ponds, streams and lakes
