Pseudacris regilla Northern Pacific Chorus Frog
The species P. regilla was split into three in 2006 by Recuero et al. The ones in the Pacific Northwest retained the old name.

I had seen a few of these little frogs when I had visited Smith Rock State Park many years earlier, but I hadn't bothered to get any photos of them at the time. Since then, they have been split into a separate species from the California populations that I was most familiar with. So this time I really wanted to get photos, and had to tromp around for quite awhile before finding a couple of these metamorphs.

Here's a big adult that had chosen to spend a warm sunny morning clinging to some mosses several feet above the ground on the trunk of a tree. Once again, only an iPhone was handy.
