Coyote Peterson is in Costa Rica. He is going to try and find lots of different types of frogs.

He found a female Stream Frog! Female Stream Frogs are larger than males. Coyote Peterson said the male frogs are usually the ones that you would find more because the females are more hidden. But Coyote Peterson got a female instead of a male.

The color of the Stream Frog is a very dark orange that almost looks brownish with a few green spots. On the belly side, it's bright orange with big yellow spots. On the legs, it's a dark orange with yellow spots. It's really pretty! Coyote Peterson let it go and then kept searching for more frogs.

Coyote Peterson found a Dirt/Rain Frog! He got another female frog. The female Dirt/Rain frogs grow bigger than the males.

The Dirt/Rain Frog is very strong that it jumped away from Coyote Peterson. But Coyote Peterson got it back. And then he let it go and went back searching again for more frogs.

Coyote Peterson found a Splendid Leaf Frog! 

He said the Splendid Leaf Frog doesn't often jump. It likes to walk more than jumping.

The Splendid Leaf Frog has sticky toes. And they can spread out their legs so much that they can practically glide themselves. 

The color of the Splendid Leaf frog is all green at the top and on the belly side all bright orange with black stripes that almost looks like a tiger. Coyote Peterson said the Splendid Leaf Frog can see very well in the dark. He also said he can't believe he found a Splendid Leaf frog because the frogs live high up in trees and almost never comes down so he was really lucky to see one. I wish I could see a Splendid Leaf frog in real life it would be so cool if I did be able to see one.

Coyote Peterson is in Queensland Australia. He is trying to find a White Tree frog. He found a White Tree frog!

The White Tree frog that Coyote Peterson caught was a very chubby female. Coyote Peterson said the reason why the White Tree frogs are chubby is that they store lots of water underneath their skin. He also said the frog is very squishy. 

The color of the White Tree frog is all green with little yellow speckling on the back.

The frog has very sticky pads that they can hold on to stuff and go upside down. 

He also said the reason that you can tell between a female and a male is that the females are larger than the males and the females have white under their chin and the males have a dark brown under their chin. 

The White Tree frog eats insects, other frogs, and snakes.

The frog can call. Sometimes they would go inside a container and try to make their call louder to draw in some females. Coyote Peterson said the White Tree frog was the coolest type of tree frog that he has seen.

He also said the frog is very smooth very sleek and very shiny.

The White Tree frog looks very cool looking!

On yard sale day I woke up at 6:30 in the morning. I headed to my friend Sophie's house at 7:00 clock in the morning. She was making muffins when I got there. She was almost done. She said she woke up at 5:30 in the morning to make the muffins because she wanted it to be warm when the people buy them. She made blueberry muffins and banana muffins. And the day before that she made cupcakes and then iced them. She wanted to bake everything with me but she couldn't because we were really busy at our own respective houses.

As soon as I got to my friend Sophie's house we started to set up all the things that we want to sell. Sophie's grandma was there to help. She gave us some pins and some bracelets that we can also sell. She said we can have some that you really like. And the ones you don't like you can sell it if you want to. I picked one that I really like. It's a pineapple bracelet and it's really pretty. My friend Sophie picked a cross one that is also really pretty.

When we were all ready to sell. Lots of people came. They mostly bought the muffins because it's in the morning. Some people actually bought some cupcakes. One person bought a water bottle. The water bottles sold for one dollar each. We were also selling wreaths. One girl bought one wreath. The wreaths sold for five dollars each.

In the end, we made about 80 dollars. We made so much! It was so much fun talking to people and being together with a friend. 

Coyote Peterson said bald eagles are not bald. The reason why they call it that is because in the old English the word is "balde" which means white. That is why they call it a bald eagle. 

Coyote Peterson also said bald eagles are large birds of prey that belong to the Sea Eagle family. I search on Wikipedia the "sea eagle" I never knew it was so pretty! I saw different types of eagles they are way prettier than the bald eagle and the sea eagle has sharper claws. 

The bald eagles like to live next to the water so they can catch fish, and aquatic birds, and small animals. Bald eagles can way up to fourteen pounds that's almost two milk jugs. That is really heavy for a bird. The bald eagle has a wingspan that ranges between eight and six feet. 

A female bald eagle is quite larger than the males.

When Golden eagles are diving they can go 200 mph. And the Bald eagles when they dive it's 100 mph. It's a lot! I never knew they can dive that fast. When we are on the highway we don't go 80 even. That bird can zoom right past us if it wants to.

Here is a video of a skydiving falcon.

The female bald eagle can lay up to three eggs at a time. And about 35 days they hatch! that is really fast! I wish I could see a real baby eagle hatching it would be awesome to see that.

I love bald eagles I have always wondered why they called the bald eagle "bald" because it was not bald and now I know why it's called the bald eagle. 

This is the Stellers Sea Eagle

Yesterday we went out with Sophie Philip's mom and my mom and Abby's mom in a car. The car that we went in was Abby's mom's car. It had eight seats in it. And there are six of us. On the way to the tea place, we played a car game. So everybody starts out on the letter A. And goes all the way to Z. We look at signs and if t starts with a letter A then you can move on to B. It has to start with A not something that has an A in it but has to start with the letter you are on. We taught Abby how to play. She understood us and she was really good at it. 

 The tea place is our favorite place. It was for Abby's birthday. There are smoothies there. I got an Almond Strawberry Frost. It's really good. They put a strawberry at the very top and some crushed almonds too. My friend Sophie got the same thing. My other friend Abby got a Mint frost one. That one is also very good I have had it before. There's food there. You can get lunch their dinner there and breakfast I think. 

We took pictures when we were at the tea place and at the mall.

After that my sister Noelle came and she went with us to the mall. We looked at a bunch of stuff like, shoes, dresses, earrings, and we went on the escalator and the elevator. It was so much fun going on the escalator. That was probably the most fun thing I have ever done in the mall before. When we got back I looked at the time and we spent almost five hours.
