Have been hearing these guys most of the summer, but could never find one — there is usually a chorus of 3 or 4 around the pond and inside the turtle habitat. I thought I was hearing Fowler’s toads......until I caught this little fella tonight and was able to ID him!
Meet an Eastern Narrow Mouthed Toad! Apparently they are extremely common — just my 1st time to see one! Funny, but when I looked it up......they call it a toad-like frog. So is it a toad....or a frog!
Cute little guy, about 1-1/2 inch long. And they eat ants! I have a massive carpenter ant problem in the turt hab, so very happy to welcome these ant-preds!
1st shot: iPhone on macro, and right in his face. Other 2 shots with and without flash.
