They call them Gray tree frogs, but they are chameleons and change their colour with their environment. I found it underneath the deck, on a beam - later on in the day. Amazing how their sticky toes allow them to climb.
We have many singing in the trees around the house. Singing for love or lust, I suppose!
We have a ton of tree frogs! These are archival photos.

The list: Species at risk in Ontario.
Legal Protection
Ontario’s reptiles and amphibians are protected under the federal Species at Risk Act and these Ontario acts: the Endangered Species Act, 2007; the Planning Act, under which the Provincial Policy Statement is issued; and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. These laws, as well as how they protect species and their habitats, are described below.
(a) a species that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as an endangered or threatened species; or
(b) a species that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as an extirpated species, if the species is prescribed by the regulations for the purpose of this clause. 2007, c. 6, s. 10 (1).
