Here is a good article explaining the natural history of the gray treefrog in Minnesota. Something it doesn't mention is that there are two species of Gray treefrogs through much of the range, including Minnesota. The two are identical in appearance but have unique calls. One also has twice the chromosomes as the other. The two species are:
Cope's Gray Treefrog
Hyla chrysoscelis
Gray Treefrog
Hyla versicolor
If you find a gray treefrog, be sure to see which species, if not both species is in your area.
