dandelion , 2 months ago I used to think it was a strange kind of cicada or grasshopper - but it turned out the relatively high-pitched and steady trills we hear in late spring are the mating calls of American Toads (Anaxyrus americanus). #Toads #Amphibians #Herps The same two roads after I disturbed them. The larger one on the left is facing the camera. Its face is lighter brown than the rest of its body, and the throat white and spotless. The right toad shows its warty, dark upper side
