White-Lined Tree Frog

AKA Phyllomedusa vaillantii

A funky-looking South American frog! They measure around 2 to 3 inches, and boys and girls have different snouts!

While their body is mostly green, they can have white or orange spots, red or lavender legs, and orange bellies! So colorful!

Merry belated Christmas everyone!!! I’ve been wanting to make a post for a while now but things have been pretty hectic between coming back from my trip to Florida and helping my family with last minute preparations for Christmas. After that my brain needed a few days to just be goop but I’m back now and want to talk about something pretty cool! So while I was in Florida me and my bf went to go visit this wetlands called Green Cay where you can walk around a board walk and see some pretty cool birds and reptiles. The day we went was pretty cold and cloudy (it was like that for most of the time I was there) so that meant there weren’t many reptiles out but it also meant there weren’t many people there either so we got to see a lot of really cool birds!

As soon as we pulled up to the parking lot we were seeing birds such as blue jays, northern mocking birds, common grackles (of course), a red-bellied woodpecker, mourning doves, and a bunch of squirrels. I know none of those species are rare so it makes sense that I would see them but I think it’s so cool to see species that I’m used to like blue jays, squirrels, and woodpeckers hanging out in palm trees.

(Red-Bellied Woodpecker)

Next, we went into the visitor center where they had a few exhibits with animals. The first was a display about native frogs Vs invasive frogs that had Cuban tree frogs and cane toads for the invasive species and green tree frogs, pig frogs, and southern toads for the natives. Sadly, I could only find the Cuban tree frog, cane toad, and pig frog since the glass was super foggy and the frogs like to hide anyways. They also had an American kestrel named Kilee and an Eastern screech owl named Oliver in little flight cages. Both birds were born in the wild but now have injuries that prevent them from flying so they have to live the rest of their lives at the center. The sign said Oliver had been hit by a car and for Kilee it just said she had problems with her wing feathers so idk what happened to her. There was also two tanks one that had turtles (peninsula cooters, Florida softshell, and Florida red-bellied) and a second tank that had some baby American Alligators.

(Pig frog, Cuban tree frog, Kilee the American kestrel, Oliver the Eastern screech owl, peninsula cooter, and American alligator babies)

In the actual park we saw lots of cool species since there weren’t many people out. Like I said no alligators though since it was pretty cold out but we did see plenty of iguanas, a massive Florida Softshell in the water, and a basilisk lizard sitting in a tree!

(Large male green iguana and either a brown basilisk or a green basilisk who isn’t showing off his coloration we couldn’t tell)

That’s all the pics I can add to this post so I’m gonna make a part 2 with all the birds we saw.

Sunday Birding 7/23/23

Many excellent birds this morning!  Even though I didn’t see as many at the pond (sob sob), the arboretum made up for it!

First bird to be seen was this handsome cardinal!  He was also the first bird I heard at the pond too:

My funky lil’ guy was back!  So many good (and silly) pictures of a green heron:

This neat frog was out too!

I always make a stop home before I go to the arboretum, and was very pleased to find this goldfinch getting some breakfast at my feeder:

Oh hey, a cardinal was the first bird that I saw at the arboretum too!  I wonder what he’s looking at 🤨

some pretty sunflowers:

A turtle and his buddy!

I was surprised to even see this guy up in the tree!  A ruby-throated hummingbird:

I like to think they are all gossiping at the bird feeder:

Another hummingbird!

A tufted titmouse up in a tree:

They also wanted to join in on the gossip:

Let them in!!!

I was so happy to get a picture of this little guy, a blue-gray gnatcatcher!  I was surprised they stayed still long enough for me to get this picture, lol:

An eastern bluebird!  She was just chillin’ up in a tree, on the lookout for her next snack:

Looking good up there king:

An indigo bunting!  

This dragonfly was polite enough to pose for me while I took their picture:

There were also a pair of tree swallows flying around:

Another eastern bluebird, male this time:

She’s just living the life, in the shade, relaxing, with some tasty snacks:

A downy woodpecker, male:

It was fun watching him crawl around to get to the food:

I just like this white-breasted nuthatch’s silly pose:

They look more dramatic in this one:

A titmouse, crawling down to get a treat:

A red-bellied woodpecker!  I loved her pose here:

Another titmouse:

I love this guy’s poufy hair (well, feathers):

Here is another goldfinch, sitting on a flower:

Some pretty flowers:

Beeee!

A red-eye vireo, they were singing at me while I was walking in this area:

Another hummingbird, this time at one of the feeders:

Some more flowers!
