Field Notes

Notes:

This tiny frog was out and about on a hot afternoon at the Poverty Point camping area in the Great Sandy National Park. It was a real surprise to see it - these frogs are generally nocturnal and prefer damp conditions. My hubby and I wanted to rescue it and relocate it to a more watery location, but it ran up a tree and got away from us. This is the only decent shot I got.

*Eastern. I think it's time for a break!!!
I appreciate it! I just feel silly, since I am reasonably familiar with both Easter Dwarf and Dainty Tree Frogs. : )
Thats OK Shanna, I've made mistakes too, glad to help though
Oh my goodness Mac, thank you. I feel like a complete fool, I don't know what I was thinking with that ID!
