Very nice shot. I do believe she is a Common American Toad...judging by what I can see of her in this shot. And I say her b/c at her size if this was a male he would have a darker throat.

What a real beauty she is. I would give anything to see a common brown toad again. We used to have them in in our yard during the 1950s-1980s, but they all disappeared about 20 years ago. Too much development. Now all we have is people. Ugh.

thanks jean . . . wow, that's pretty sad to have all your toads disappear . . . probably not very likely that any of those extra people have been eating the garden slugs

It's very sad. When I heard that the one and only pond locally was being cleaned out for the new development, I knew the frogs were goners. It is truly a heartbreaking event for me because I really, truly love frogs. We will be sorry when they all disappear. Slugs will end up ruling the world, probably!
