Pseudacris hypochondriaca

Also known as Baja California Treefrog, Baja Chorus Frog

Baja California chorus frogs are famous for their loud, two-toned vocal chorus that forms the classic background noise of Hollywood film soundtracks. These small, highly adaptable amphibians range in color from bright green to subtle brown, always marked by a distinctive dark eye stripe running from the snout past the shoulder. They spend much of the year in terrestrial chaparral and suburban yards, migrating to quiet pools and streams each spring to breed.
