We just had one found in the engine block of one of our tractors that turned the exact color of a dingy paper label when we put it on the side of our garden pond.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1151285334895674972006-06-25T20:28:00.000-05:002006-06-25T20:28:00.000-05:00I have a frog too.

Toads make a long, high trilling sound and look dry and lumpy compared to smooth, moist-looking frogs. If it's small, maybe it's a tree frog.MojoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283343683800473324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-1151209249831268412006-06-24T23:20:00.000-05:002006-06-24T23:20:00.000-05:00An American toad maybe?

But the visual description and the passiveness make me think toad. <BR/><BR/>Here's a good link with various types of calls for various frogs & toads: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/topics/frogCalls.html<BR/><BR/>We heard four different calls around our pond this Spring, so naturally I had to go googling. I think we eventually figured them all out. Good luck!e4https://www.blogger.com/profile/13435927076587347401noreply@blogger.com
