Did You Know?

Gray Tree Frogs are nocturnal and forage in the trees and shrubs. They descend to the ground only to breed. Breeding occurs from March to July, depending on the temperature. Rain also may trigger breeding activity. Scattered groups of 10 to 40 eggs are laid on the surfaces of shallow ditches, puddles and ponds; almost any flooded container will do.
