Pinewoods Treefrog Hyla femoralis

Pinewoods Treefrog (RealAudio sound sample)

The male's advertisement call is a rapid, long-continued series of raspy notes reminding one of the sound made by a riveting machine, or else someone tapping wildly at a telegraph key: "dik-dik-dikadikadikadickadicka." Breeds in pine forest habitats in coastal plain regions from Virginia to eastern Louisiana.
