We only have one species of tree frog, and the sucker disks on the tips of the toes would be diagnostic. A few years ago a much bigger and calling gray tree frog turned up locally at Hennigar's Farm Market pond, and the presumption was that it had come to our area with a bunch of exotic plants from further south.
