American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus)

It wasn’t quite so hot this evening so Cathy and I decided to walk in the woods around Lake Frank. It was still warm and quite humid, so I ended up pretty much drenched in sweat, but it doesn’t take a lot for me to get that way. We happened to see this American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus) on the trail. It’s one of only two species of toad native to our area, so identification isn’t all that difficult. He’s a handsome fellow, don’t you think? Don’t let the frown fool you. This is ideal toad weather, especially now, with all the insects being about.
