Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Pacific Chorus Frog

Pseudacris regilla

Look, don't take. Many states regulate collecting reptiles and amphibians. Photograph it, log it on iNaturalist and leave it where you found it.

Description

The Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla), also known as the Pacific chorus frog, has a range spanning the Pacific Northwest, from Northern California, Oregon, and Washington to British Columbia in Canada and extreme southern Alaska. The Pacific tree frog grows up to two inches from snout to urostyle.Wikipedia ↗

Habitat

A small population also exists in a pond on Revillagigedo Island near Ketchikan, Alaska, having been intentionally introduced there in the 1960s. They occur in shades of greens or browns and can change colors over periods of hours and weeks.Wikipedia ↗

When it's active

The Pacific tree frog begins mating in early winter to early spring. Males call to females as loudly as possible and produce a croak so loud that they sound as though they are produced by multiple males.Wikipedia ↗
