My green anoles are making a comeback, too. I think the reason is two-fold. I've been eliminating Cuban treefrogs, AND the green anoles are adjusting to living with the brown Cuban anoles (sorry...another "Cuban" import, though who knows if the name is even accurate). I have heard that the green anoles are learning to keep to the higher ground and leave the lower areas more for the brown ones. (Beth, they are exotics, sadly, and for awhile were really wiping out the green anoles.) I definitely noticed more green anoles when I went on the warpath 5 years ago against the Cuban treefrogs, who eat them (and anything else they can catch.) But sadly, like you, Nativemel...no green treefrogs. My son has them in his yard in abundance in Gainesville, where the CTF's don't seem to be making as much headway. I'm thinking about relocating a few tadpoles from his yard to my pond and seeing if I can reintroduce them to my yard that way. Now that there are fewer CTF's here, seems like it might work. Marcia

My guess is a Gray tree frog... note the light rectangular area under the eye...

It is indeed a male Bullfrog. He has likely taken up at your home due to his disability. They do go to the bottom of the pond and hibernate in the mud, but if there is no mud bottomed pond, you could take him indoors for the winter and feed him crickets. He may be able to hop pretty good, but he is a little bit a lightweight, and I suspect that he has a little trouble feeding himself. This disability may make it difficult for him to take the insects he feeds on effectively. I would try and augment his diet with crickets from the bait shop or pet store and see if he gets a little fatter. You will want to dust the crickets with reptile vitamins. With his injury, he will be unable to fend off predators, and will likely get eaten at a big pond, and if he makes it to winter, may not have enough fat stored to make it through. If it were me, I would take him in and try to make his life easier, but some are in favor of nature taking its course (which would likely be curtains for the frog). If you would like any info about how to help him, let me know; I have kept many amphibians over the years, when teaching Environmental Ed. He may also need antibiotics, to stave off infection in the stump. Unlike salamanders, frogs cannot regrow limbs. BTW: The external ear, called a tympanum, is larger than the eye, making him a male. He has no skin folds from head to groin, which cuts out Green Frog. He has a fold of skin that goes around his ear, making him a Bullfrog. See: Bullfrog on Wikipedia. Enjoy.

Goin' with Gray Tree frog (Hyla vericolor), an appropriate Latin name to describe their ability to can change color, ranging from gray to green. Neato!
