“Brrrrt! Brrrrt!” Gray treefrogs are trilling from the trees. Though these frogs can be loud, their complex camouflage patterns make them hard to spot. Lucky for us, past participants in our Photo Contest have captured these animals in exquisite detail. Here are five of our favorites. Learn more about frog species in Massachusetts.

Birdwatchers are going wild for warblers. In the spring, these small songbirds migrate up to Massachusetts; some will stay to nest here, and others are just traveling through en route to more northern breeding areas. They journey by night and rest during the day, often flitting about the trees in city parks. Here are some past entries to our Photo Contest that highlight their striking colors and patterns.
