Tiny baby frogs and toads!

[Jim Smith]

I just saw this thread thought I'd join in. I and can certainly relate to what Pareeeee is talking about. I live on a 50 acre lake and in mid to late spring, I actually have to skip mowing the lawn some weeks because there are so many tiny toads hoping around and I don't want to hurt or kill them. There are literally hundreds of them and you have to watch where you step. They're down to somewhat manageable numbers now, probably from predation, but I can go out and find 10 -20 toads at any given time. I love to have them around and leave the flood lights on in the evenings to bring in the bugs so they can come to the feast every night. I've always heard that having lots of toads and frogs around is a sign of a healthy environment since they are so susceptible to toxic sprays and poisons.

Thanks for sharing.
