One humid evening last week, I went out in my own backyard to commune a bit with nature. I was greeted by a vociferous chorus of grey treefrogs looking for love. I was also surprised by a Fowler's toad, hopping furiously away from me, as well as a beautiful sphinx moth. Sometimes nature truly is right outside your own backdoor.

are gray tree frogs only in your region? i remember tree frogs in the forest preserves of north suburbs of chicago growing up. same tree frogs? they look similar... but i haven't seen a tree frog out there in decades. are they still out there? do i have to look harder?
