We have been doing some extra spring cleaning the last few days. Just trying to get rid of worthless things that no longer have any value to us. When you live in a box on wheels it’s always best to get rid of things as soon as they lose meaning to you. We have some left over plywood we will be donating to the park, as well as other small things that we will give away or just throw away, let someone else deal with it. Having spare room is always a bonus when you have limited space.
We have a bagillion Pacific Tree Frogs around the park, I love to hear them as I run the trials or when we are birding. There have been times we can hear them as we sleep, which I just absolutely love. However, I have never seen one, so I planned to go hunting for them one day.
Today I went out to do the tanks and just happen to see one hop about 2′ away from me. Pauline handed me the camera and I have succeeded in my hunt!
It’s a pretty cool looking frog.
March 9, 2014 – Fort Flagler SP – Pacific Tree Frog – About 2″ in size, also known as the Pacific chorus frog, has a range from the West Coast of the United States (from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington) to British Columbia, in Canada. They live from sea level to more than 10,000 feet in many types of habitats, reproducing in aquatic settings. They occur in shades of greens or browns and can change colors over periods of hours and weeks.
Not much else on today’s agenda. We have our Metallica playlist jamming, Pauline is reading, it was bright and Sunny but that went into a fog so thick we are not able to see Whidbey Island at the moment, so I’m not sure when or if I will go out birding today.
