Thinking this is a green heron? Hard to snap a pic because he is so skittish and flies away soon as I try to get close. He has right yellow feet, a teal coat with a burgundy neck. Found hunting in our pond.

Too bad I can’t post videos on here cuz this moth flew and mimicked a hummingbird so well that I had to take a second and third glance at it! The photos are screenshots of the video, hence why they’re so blurry.

Just saw this now! I think it was attempting to climb the wooden edge of the driveway. They’re so neat to look at! Very prehistoric looking things.

Grey Treefrog (Hyla versicolor)Observer
roxywildfindsDescription
Juvenile gray tree frog resting in our tropical plant! I looked it up and even though it’s bright line green, this is supposedly also called a gray tree frog. Could it be green because it’s just a juvenile? Or do they change color (camouflage) depending on their surroundings?

American Bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)Observer
roxywildfindsDescription
This is the largest frog I’ve ever seen! I’m assuming it’s an American bullfrog even though it doesn’t have the yellow belly. It’s size indicates it must be a bullfrog since other frog species are much smaller, like the northern green frog.
