Gray Tree Frog – Again

2019 10 IMG_5771.jpg

I posted about a gray tree frog on our gas grill back in August. There was a frog in almost the same place again last week! The grill has a cover on it when we’re not using it, so the location is very sheltered…until my husband pulls off the cover. The frog always looks very sleepy when we first see him. I’m glad my husband is observant, and we haven’t accidentally cooked a frog!

The frog was not as easy to move off the grill this time. I finally got him onto the laminated card and moved him to the other side of the deck. During the process the golden yellow on the inner thigh was visible.

I did a search on my blog to find the post from earlier this year and discovered that we’d found a gray tree frog on our grill back in May 2018 as well. Could it be the same one? They live 7-9 years…so it’s possible.
