I just discovered a very small amphibian clinging to my kitchen window. 
  He/she measures a scant 1 inch from butt to tip of nose.  His/her 
throat is vibrating strongly, but I can't hear a thing through two 
layers of glass (and slightly less than perfect hearing). And I can't 
see his/her coloring beyond his underparts, which are sort of ordinarily 
froggy pale, light gray-ish-whitish to greenish-tinged on the edges.

Could this be a peeper?  It does seem too small for a tree frog, one of 
which I also once discovered clinging to the same window but in early 
summer. Do peepers do this?
