Thanks Justin and folks who responded. Consensus is Green Tree Frog, which
doesn’t occur in Iowa (I don’t feel so ignorant now).
Much appreciated.

Hi Ross,
That's a Green Treefrog. They're pretty common and widespread in East Texas.
Happy Memorial Day.

As a transplanted Iowan I’m unfamiliar with this call. I think it’s a frog/toad
of some sort but can’t find a matching spectro online. I’m hearing this in
woods at Cypress Park and along Cypress Creek in riparian woods. I’m sure it’s
common here in Houston, and haven’t been able to pin it to any bird.
Thank you,
Ross
