But yeah, typically the green treefrogs (<em>Hyla cinerea<\/em>) have found a place to snuggle in and conserve energy until spring, long before now. This juvenile wasn&#8217;t looking at all groggy, honestly, and soon hopped further off, multiple times, to get away from the glaring light of the headlamp and the old man grunts and joint-clicking that accompanied my getting down to this angle. <\/p>\n<p>Will this be the last one for the year? Well, given that we have less than two days left, it seems likely, but it&#8217;s also unseasonably warm, so I&#8217;ll only place a small bet on it. And when I say, &#8220;last one,&#8221; I mean &#8216;treefrog&#8217; and not &#8216;posts,&#8217; because there are at least two more posts coming up. But you knew that already, because you know the schedule &#8211; sorry, it didn&#8217;t need explaining. However, another project has been finished and I intend to show it off here soon, and we&#8217;ll see if that happens before the close of the year. Isn&#8217;t the suspense thrilling?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming back from dropping some stuff off at the shed, very early this morning (like, two AM, because I&#8217;m me,) I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye (because I&#8217;m me,) and stopped to investigate.
