can someone tell how to find baby grey tree frogs in the wild?

I live by a lake and i its been about 2 months since calling first started....latly though the temps went up in the 90s then within 2 days it back in the high 70s during the day....at night it was around 70 but now its around 60....do i need to wait to wait untill the night temps rise to find them?

GTF's are still in tadpole stage here in NE MA, major choruses occured on the night of June 11, after a warm rain. Eggs hatch out quickly, so I checked adjacent pools & ditches for tads, they were among the toad & green frog tads-- the GTF were the tiniest.

I'm just south of Atlanta Georgia. I rescued several tadpoles from the neighbors pool two to three weeks ago. She was about to throw chlorine in it to get rid of the frogs. You can tell by the differences in shape & size that there are a few different species of frogs here. So far, all of the ones that have morphed have been tree frogs. The two largest of the six are brown with darker brown spots under their eyes. They are very small still. They could fit on the tip of my finger. Can anyone tell me if these are grey tree frogs? Of all the species I've looked at in the Georgia Guide to Toads & Frogs, they look the most the grey tree frog to me. But they didn't sound like anything I've ehard in my backyard. Looks right, but sounds wrong. Someone help me figure out what these little cuties are please.
