An Uncommon Sight: Blue Tree Frog

Nature lovers are gathering at Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria, Virginia, to view an unusual amphibian. The park is home to a rare tree frog with a distinctive blue hue.

The Discovery

Mar Acevedo, a retired public high school teacher, became aware of the rare blue-colored tree frog during a recent morning visit. Acevedo first encountered the unique frog about a week ago, in a small section of the park near Telegraph Road. Motivated by curiosity, Acevedo returned to observe this natural wonder again.
