Continuing to show some of the wildlife I have seen attracted to my pond.

Today it is a Eastern American toad (Bufo americanus americanus).

During a cookout we could hear this Toad literally croaking right off our porch during twilight. I was able to find it and even handle it and show to the kids here... Alot of "wows!"

I was surprised when later that night when the solar lights came on, this guy had moved to the edge of the pond and was now singing up a storm. It was kind of funny since he was right in the spotlight.

I was able to get right next to him and film him croaking. No fear or anything. I think we now have another porch pet besides our dog, since we think we have seen this same today for about a month now hanging out.

Pretty cool.
