Default About toads

Hal,

Your post educated me. For years we have had toads 'sing us to sleep'
in the spring and summer. To Jim and to me they were just toads. Jim
describes them as sounding like crickets on speed. Now we know them
as Fowler's toads. For months each summer, that is the night sound of
our pond. Some nights (lower temp?) they are quiet. Mostly, they
advertise.
