Arizona Treefrog
Dryophytes wrightorumAlso known as Wright's Mountain Tree Frog, Wright's Treefrog
Arizona treefrogs dwell in high-elevation pine-oak forests and grassy wetlands across the Mogollon Rim and southern Rocky Mountains. Bright green to golden-brown with dark eye stripes, adult frogs emerge with summer monsoon rains to breed in ephemeral ponds and slow-moving streams. Males create distinctive nasal, quack-like calls that echo through montane meadows during warm summer nights.
