Red-eyed Treefrog (Litoria chloris)

This frog was desperately seeking female companionship in, on, and near a metal water tank that was already teeming with tiny froglets, perhaps the result of one of this frog's earlier dalliances.

Sighting:

on grounds of O'Reilly's Rainforest Guesthouse, Queensland, Australia
Red-eyed Treefrog (Litoria chloris)

These frogs have very loud and distinctive calls, relatively easy to trace to the source. I followed the quacking to this big male at the edge of the rainforest just a few dozen yards from our room at O'Reilly's.
