Red-eyed Leaf Frogs are a worldwide symbol of the rainforest that you see constantly on books, magazines, greeting cards, nature documentaries, etc. Like every other frog-lover in the world, I had always wanted to see one of these in the wild. Earlier trips I took to Belize and Costa Rica and Panama were failed opportunities. But on this GreenTracks trip, we found one the very first night. It was calling from high up on a leaf. We captured it and took photos the next afternoon.

Here is a complete list of the species we found on this GreenTracks trip.

We found both of these on a dirt road at night, and detained them for a photo session the next day. The darker one is female, the lighter one male. They were mostly interested in sleeping.
