There are two American green tree frogs that live on my back porch. Their names are Tsu and Kermit. I love them. I will try to get pictures. I actually can’t tell which one is which. But I know there are two of them only because I’ve seen them both at the same time.

"What are you doing?" Steve asks, rubbing his tired eyes. It's time to go to bed, already way past midnight. But then Billy heard a noise outside and now he's kneeling in front of the pool, trying to fish something out of the water.

"This fucker here doesn't know chlorine can kill him," Billy grumbles. He's leaning further forward and well, Steve enjoys the view of Billy's ass he's getting, but what the fuck?

Something croaks. Billy stands up and turns around. He's got a frog in his hand. It's bright green and has huge black eyes.

"What an idiot," Billy murmurs. "We have to wash the chlorine off."

Steve already sees wet prints on the couch and the living room, but Billy's got the determined look on his face whenever his mind is already set and the last time Steve tried to argue with him it ended in a shouting match and Steve trying to woo a insulted Billy for a week until they finally fucked again.

It's nearly 3 am and Billy bathes a frog in his tub. He insisted on the tub, because "the sink is way too small for a pretty boy like him".

The frog croaks in agreement. Billy watches it swim in the water with a big goofy smile on his face.

"Are you saying that the frog is pretty?" Steve says weakly, checking on himself in the mirror. He doesn't look like a frog, does he?

The frog croaks again. It's mocking Steve.

"Very." Billy makes big eyes at Steve. "I never had a pet."

"No," Steve groans. "A frog isn't a pet."

Billy purses his lips. Steve thought something like that would be a discussion he'd have with Dustin, but not with Billy.

"We'll drive it to Lover's Lake tomorrow," Steve says. They won't keep the frog.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow," Billy nods, like these are Steve's exact words. But it's 3 am and Steve is fucking tired.

"Let's go to bed."

The frog croaks. It sounds a little sleepy, too.

#in my mind its an american green tree frog and wikipedia tells me they are popular pets just fyi #what will billy name the frog? #idk why I'm thinking about frogs rn #harringrove #billy x steve #billy hargrove #harringrove ficlet #steve x billy

White-Lined Tree Frog

AKA Phyllomedusa vaillantii

A funky-looking South American frog! They measure around 2 to 3 inches, and boys and girls have different snouts!

While their body is mostly green, they can have white or orange spots, red or lavender legs, and orange bellies! So colorful!

Merry belated Christmas everyone!!! I’ve been wanting to make a post for a while now but things have been pretty hectic between coming back from my trip to Florida and helping my family with last minute preparations for Christmas. After that my brain needed a few days to just be goop but I’m back now and want to talk about something pretty cool! So while I was in Florida me and my bf went to go visit this wetlands called Green Cay where you can walk around a board walk and see some pretty cool birds and reptiles. The day we went was pretty cold and cloudy (it was like that for most of the time I was there) so that meant there weren’t many reptiles out but it also meant there weren’t many people there either so we got to see a lot of really cool birds!

As soon as we pulled up to the parking lot we were seeing birds such as blue jays, northern mocking birds, common grackles (of course), a red-bellied woodpecker, mourning doves, and a bunch of squirrels. I know none of those species are rare so it makes sense that I would see them but I think it’s so cool to see species that I’m used to like blue jays, squirrels, and woodpeckers hanging out in palm trees.

(Red-Bellied Woodpecker)

Next, we went into the visitor center where they had a few exhibits with animals. The first was a display about native frogs Vs invasive frogs that had Cuban tree frogs and cane toads for the invasive species and green tree frogs, pig frogs, and southern toads for the natives. Sadly, I could only find the Cuban tree frog, cane toad, and pig frog since the glass was super foggy and the frogs like to hide anyways. They also had an American kestrel named Kilee and an Eastern screech owl named Oliver in little flight cages. Both birds were born in the wild but now have injuries that prevent them from flying so they have to live the rest of their lives at the center. The sign said Oliver had been hit by a car and for Kilee it just said she had problems with her wing feathers so idk what happened to her. There was also two tanks one that had turtles (peninsula cooters, Florida softshell, and Florida red-bellied) and a second tank that had some baby American Alligators.

(Pig frog, Cuban tree frog, Kilee the American kestrel, Oliver the Eastern screech owl, peninsula cooter, and American alligator babies)

In the actual park we saw lots of cool species since there weren’t many people out. Like I said no alligators though since it was pretty cold out but we did see plenty of iguanas, a massive Florida Softshell in the water, and a basilisk lizard sitting in a tree!

(Large male green iguana and either a brown basilisk or a green basilisk who isn’t showing off his coloration we couldn’t tell)

That’s all the pics I can add to this post so I’m gonna make a part 2 with all the birds we saw.

Sunday Birding 7/23/23

Many excellent birds this morning!  Even though I didn’t see as many at the pond (sob sob), the arboretum made up for it!

First bird to be seen was this handsome cardinal!  He was also the first bird I heard at the pond too:

My funky lil’ guy was back!  So many good (and silly) pictures of a green heron:

This neat frog was out too!

I always make a stop home before I go to the arboretum, and was very pleased to find this goldfinch getting some breakfast at my feeder:

Oh hey, a cardinal was the first bird that I saw at the arboretum too!  I wonder what he’s looking at 🤨

some pretty sunflowers:

A turtle and his buddy!

I was surprised to even see this guy up in the tree!  A ruby-throated hummingbird:

I like to think they are all gossiping at the bird feeder:

Another hummingbird!

A tufted titmouse up in a tree:

They also wanted to join in on the gossip:

Let them in!!!

I was so happy to get a picture of this little guy, a blue-gray gnatcatcher!  I was surprised they stayed still long enough for me to get this picture, lol:

An eastern bluebird!  She was just chillin’ up in a tree, on the lookout for her next snack:

Looking good up there king:

An indigo bunting!  

This dragonfly was polite enough to pose for me while I took their picture:

There were also a pair of tree swallows flying around:

Another eastern bluebird, male this time:

She’s just living the life, in the shade, relaxing, with some tasty snacks:

A downy woodpecker, male:

It was fun watching him crawl around to get to the food:

I just like this white-breasted nuthatch’s silly pose:

They look more dramatic in this one:

A titmouse, crawling down to get a treat:

A red-bellied woodpecker!  I loved her pose here:

Another titmouse:

I love this guy’s poufy hair (well, feathers):

Here is another goldfinch, sitting on a flower:

Some pretty flowers:

Beeee!

A red-eye vireo, they were singing at me while I was walking in this area:

Another hummingbird, this time at one of the feeders:

Some more flowers!

[headspace-hotel]

I want to make people see how much has been taken away from them.

Did you know that there are dozens of species of fireflies, and some of them light up with a blue glow? Did you know about the moths? There are thousands of them, bright pink and raspberry orange and checkerboard and emerald. They are called things like Black-Etched Prominent, Purple Fairy, Pink-Legged Tiger, Small Mossy Glyph and Black-Bordered Lemon.

Did you know that there are moths that feed on lichens? Did you know about the blue and green bees? The rainbow-colored dogbane beetles? Your streams are supposed to teem with newts, salamanders, crawdads, frogs, and fishes. I want to take you by the hand and show you an animal you've never seen before, and say, "This exists! It's real! It's alive!"

There are secret wildflowers that no website will show you and that no list entitled "native species to attract butterflies!" will name. Every day I'm at work I see a new plant I didn't know existed.

The purple coneflowers and prairie blazing star are a tidepool, a puddle, and there is an ocean out there. There are wildflowers that only grow in a few specific counties in a single state in the United States, there are plants that are evolved specifically to live underneath the drip line of a dolomite cliff or on the border of a glade of exposed limestone bedrock. Did you know that different species of moss grow on the sides of a boulder vs. on top of it?

There are obscure trees you might have never seen—Sourwood, Yellowwood, Overcup Oak, Ninebark, Mountain Stewartia, Striped Maple, American Hophornbeam, Rusty Blackhaw, Kentucky Coffeetree. There are edible fruits you've never even heard of.

And it is so scary and sad that so many people live and work in environments where most of these wondrous living things have been locally extirpated.

There are vast tracts of suburb and town and city and barren pasture where a person could plausibly never learn of the existence of the vast majority of their native plants and animals, where a person might never imagine just how many there are, because they've only ever been exposed to the tiny handful of living things that can survive in a suburb and they have no reason to extrapolate that there are ten thousand more that no one is talking about.

It's like being a fish that has lived its whole life in a bucket, with no way of imagining the ocean. The insects in your field guide are a fraction of those that exist, of all the native plants to your area only a handful can be bought in a nursery.

Welcome to the Earth! It's beautiful! It's full of life! More things are real and beautiful and alive than a single person could imagine!!!
