The Pacific Chorus Frog, Pseudacris regilla, is the most abundant type of frog in Oregon. It ranges from British Columbia to Baja and lives in forests, mountains, and grasslands. This frog is sometimes called the Pacific Tree Frog, though it usually lives close to the ground in grasses and shrubs. It grows to 2" in size with a dark mask from its nostrils to its shoulders. Most frogs have webbing between their toes, but the Pacific Chorus Frog has sticky pads to climb plants to hunt for food. These frogs eat insects and spiders, and are eaten by hawks, owls, raccoons and other predators. You may have a hard time spotting a Pacific Chorus Frog at CECC, since they can change color from tan to green, matching their background.
