Mr. Toad?

The hurricane messes with the wildlife, too. Saw a fox mid day, obviously spooked, a porcupine tore through my yard, also an odd daytime sight. I managed to get a photo of this Toad, that somehow got up on my boat tarp.........



Why so serious?

Looks like a Mr. Frog to me. Toads are lower, heavier and have more warts.

I don't think he will mind the toad misnomer though, as you applied Mr. to the front. All frogs like being referred to as Mister. Except of course, female frogs, that answer to frog-lein.

Nice frog capture. Did he make any reasonable offers for the boat?

Matt, that was a cheap frog, offered me "squat" on the boat. This one was evicted soon enough, besides I believe a certain bird was sizing him up for lunch.........:)
Thanks all..........

He did a good job adapting to his background. He almost has a metallic look about him.

"frog-lein" Nice one Mathew... :rofl:
