This is not a great picture but was lucky to get this. These guys are
good at hiding. I won't see the tads for 2-3 days at a time and think,
oh, they are gone and then i see them again

It's the last picture on the pond page.
I will be adding june2003 soon.

Ok, so it's a sucky picture. A photographer i am not...

Oh, jammer, he's soooo cute ... and soooo tiny. When you said toad, I
guess I was thinking frog and bullfrog, like the 8 inch bullfrog that
lived in our pond for a couple of years. I want baby toads toooo. Maybe
if I get my cracked, leaking upper pond and waterfall fixed this summer
/ fall ...

They really ARE adorable. I sure hope they grow fast. There are way
too many birds around here. Since the big toads seem to be done with
the pond for now, I was thinking of setting a wood pile of sorts/some
sort of shady hiding area on bricks in the pond in hopes they will
stay until bigger. I read that they will be leaving soon but i can
always hope. Maybe the extreme heat will keep them near water longer.
I can try!

Good luck on next spring's baby toads!!!!

Chances are i will be expanding mine by thenG

I have THOUSANDS of them all over my yard...

I imagine some sort of shade might encourage the toads to stay for a
while, but they might also need a food source. Can you research what
type of toad they are and what they eat?

I hope we'll have toads next year, but will have to wait and see. Don't
know if I can get the upper pond / waterfall up and running by spring
time but I will be trying.

Nope. Don't suppose you want to escape the summer heat of Dallas for
summer rain in Oregon? ;-) didn't think so ...
