I think they're fowlers.... the spots make me think that. Americans have spots, but not like that (not exactly, they're actually very similar)

I'm pretty sure some the garters around here solely persists on these toads!!

That's what i meant...

While out in my shed working on a mower I found out I have a nest of Bumble Bees.
They were rather worried that I was there so they asked me to leave.
I'll have to work around them all season as
I don't want to destroy them.

We are coping with honey bees who moved into the wall cavity where the garter snakes used to live. Solve one "problem", get a whole other problem! Everyone who was burning to get those snakes out has done a real about face! Snakes > Bees ;P

While mowing the back yard I came across this leopard frog. This is a first for my property. Wonder if the flood has something to do with it.
This froggy better be careful after nightfall. Some hungry wild radix will make a meal out of it.

He's a goner.

It must be the flood... I've never seen afrog away from water.

I found one like 3 days ago like half a mile from the nearest creek or water source

[RedSidedSPR]

Well yeah, I'm sure it's possible.. That's weird though.

I find lots of those, just always around water.

We have frogs not near water sources all the time. I think they travel. Hope froggy makes it!

[RedSidedSPR]

He's doomed.

[Mommy2many]

Stop being so pessimistic!

[RedSidedSPR]

He'll never make it.
