One has been hanging out for a month now- and today we have 2.

One is brownish- the other green. I'm in NY,near Schenectady.
They are about 2 1/2 inches long.

I thought I identified the first one by its call a couple weeks ago.
But he hasn't made a sound since. now that there are 2 & they are
colored so differently, I wonder.

Thanks,
Jim

Our Pacific Chorus Frog comes in different colors, grey to green to
light brown.
Probably just the nature of the beastie.

After some more poking about the net I'm 99% sure they are Green
Frogs. Colors vary in both species, but the Green Frog has banding
on the rear legs, and dorsolateral ridges. [the long warty-looking
thing where his shoulder-blades would be]

Also I picked them both up and smelled them & Mink frogs are supposed
to give off an oniony odor.

Thanks,
Jim
