It's a Toads Life

  • I could hear the trilling as I walked through the woods.  Such a thrill.  The Great American Toads were there.  Many of them and pretty calm.  I am not sure if this is the calm before the storm or after the storm, but I caught this guy under a hanging branch and loved him.  He is not fully blowing out that pouch under his chin.  He may have gotten a little shy with me taking his picture.  Anyway he blows up that pouch and makes a loud trilling sound as he tries to attract a female.  And it often works, although there always seem to be many more boys than girls.   
I came back today and maybe because it was much chillier I saw no toads until I walked into the water.  I looked up on the bank and what did I see, but these two mating Toads protesting the likes of Donald Trump. (Please click on the picture to actually see those mating toads!)
