Cope's Gray Treefrog  (Hyla chrysoscelis)

 
Cope's Gray Treefrog  (Hyla chrysoscelis)

The two gray tree frogs found in Kentucky are identical in appearance and in many cases cannot be told apart except for their calls.  Cope's Gray treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis, occurs statewide and its harsh musical call, a fast, high-pitched trill can be heard from the spring to late summer.  The speed of the trill is slowed in cold weather.  Males typically call from the tree canopy, but 

during the breeding season, males will venture down to call from the edge of ponds and other wetlands.  Cope's Gray Treefrog ranges from 2 to 2 and a half inches in length.  Females lay their eggs in small packets of floating film on the surface of the water.
