For about a week, I’ve been hearing a frog croaking from either inside my house or maybe underneath it.
I think I found the suspect today. (see video below). If I’m not mistaken this little fellow is a gray tree frog.
With a white spot under both eyes, a white belly and yellowish-orange markings on the inside of its hind legs, the gray tree frog is a handsome and exotic-looking amphibian. Closer examination reveals large adhesive pads on the end of its toes, which allow it to cling to vertical surfaces. But, certainly, this amphibian’s most curious feature is its ability to change colors much like the more-famous lizard with the same trait, the chameleon.
I think the description is dead on for this guy. He’s still out there hanging on to the side of my house. Don’t know what he’s up to, but I hope he eats some mosquitoes tonight! Video after the jump. Read more…

Old school mcw readers will know and anticipate with enthusiasm yearly posts about my lawn mower escapades. This spring appears to not be any different. There is a major difference now, though. I use a push mower. I thought surely this would minimize the usual adventures, but alas. It was not to be.
Today, I am proud to announce that I cut my own phone line. Yes. The front left wheel of my mower somehow got itself tangled up in the phone cord going along the side of my house.
Snap.
Fray.
$%^&@#$%
and pictures….
But never fear. That was an AT&T line. I have a Cox Communications as a telephone service provider. whew… that was close.
Knock on wood.
