GUARDING THE MAILBOX

This morning I received a text from my sis-in-law, Debbie, with a picture of this little guy she found guarding their mailbox.

This little frog is a Cope's Gray Treefrog, named after Edward D. Cope (1840-1897) who described it as a separate species in 1880.

Seems to me that this sweet little soul simply wants to be left alone by himself.  Where better to spend the afternoon safe and sound snuggled beside a mailbox.

Thanks, Debbie.
