I’m trying to get caught up with photos I haven’t shared yet, so today I am sharing a few American Green Tree Frog photos I’ve taken at Sequoyah NWR recently.<\/p>\n

\"OneOne chonky American Green Tree Frog \u2013 Nikon D500, f11, 1\/60, ISO 1600, -0.7 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

These Green Tree Frog photos aren’t new for me; I used to photograph them in Florida. I didn’t see or photograph them while I lived in Utah, though. I’ve been excited to photograph them at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

I had low light conditions for these photos because it takes a while for the sun to rise over the trees on the side of the slough where the frogs were found. The tree frog images were all taken on the 4th of July.<\/p>\n

This is the chonkiest American Green Tree Frog I believe I have ever seen and photographed!<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Green Tree Frog at Sequoyah NWR \u2013 Nikon D810, f8, 1\/500, ISO 2500, -0.7 EV, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the tree frogs were clinging to the flower stems of American lotuses also found in the slough. The lotus stems look sturdy, and the frogs seem to like them. The frogs also blend in well with that kind of habitat, but they weren’t camouflaged well enough for Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> and me to miss spotting them.<\/p>\n

This last photo of an American Green Tree Frog just makes me smile. The frog had eyes on both sides of the stem and was all tucked in.<\/p>\n

American Green Tree Frogs<\/span><\/a> eat a variety of small insects including flies, mosquitoes, moths, and crickets. They may also consume smaller frogs and spiders. I’m delighted that they eat the mosquitoes, those are the mosquitoes that don’t get to attack me!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
