You may be right.

I have never heard American Toads trilling at this location. But I have
heard Eastern Spadefoot Toads calling.

Last year, these tadpoles matured in less than one month. But I was not
there to see the changes. Maybe I will see more this year.

As volunteers, we do a Frog Calling Survey for the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources. So we are often more familiar with the calls then
with the actual frog.

Thanks for your comment.
