Bob, I have thought about it, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Many things seem to require a powerful lot of thought. How nice of you to ask. I will try to think more about starting a Substack after I’m through thinking about the gnocchi I’m having for dinner today.

That clucking is indeed the energetic work of an Eastern Chipmunk. Just think, it could be the voice of Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Chip, Dale or one less famous.

Thanks, Al! Have you thought about starting a substack?

One scientific name I can remember: Hyla versicolor, which I learned decades ago before I'd heard of Cope's

versicolor = camouflage with background.

That could be a Cope's gray tree frog, but could also be an Eastern gray tree frog. The 2 species are identical. They both change colors fairly rapidly to match their surroundings. The only noticeable difference is the spring courtship calls of the males. A genetic test would also reveal the difference. Cope's are diploid, while Eastern gray tree frogs are tetraploid.
