Toadlet Sighting!

It was Wednesday, September 8 when Ginger saw some movement out of the corner of her eye.  She thought it was a leaf at first but then realized it was a tiny toadlet.  The little guy was in the front yard doing whatever these little guys do.  I was able to capture him and get a close look but have to report he wasn't wearing his name tag so I don't know which one he was.

I got a few pictures.  He was very small.  I would guess about 1 1/4 inches from lips to butt. 

We also got a report from a neighbor that a "huge" toad was sitting on the sidewalk in front of our house on this same day at sunset.  She first thought it was a rock and was going to kick it.  Lucky for both of them she realized it wasn't a rock.  She was grossed out to find a toad on the sidewalk.  "Euuwwww" was how she described it.  These toads better watch out if they don't get steped on or kicked a B-52 (blue heron) may swoop down and relieve them of their lives while enjoying them for a snack.

I just love it when the Toad Daddy runs into one of his own.

Whoohoo.
