Lot of frogs and toads this year around here

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2669298,CST-NWS-frog...

It's been a good year for frogs and toads in the Chicago area, experts say.

With the warm, wet summer, "There have been many vernal -- or temporary -- ponds and puddles this year," said Judy Boehmer, a volunteer with the Calling Frog Survey, which keeps tabs on the amphibians throughout the area as part of a broader monitoring effort including a wide range of animals being done under the umbrella of the environmental group Chicago Wilderness.

------------------------------------

I purposely take the dog for a walk later at night so we can scoot the frogs and toads off and away from the road before they get run over. Think the heat from the blacktop attracts them there?

1. I've definitely noticed more toads

I'm in the far NW burbs of Chicago, and I've seen a lot more toads hanging out in my garden. That's great because they are natural insect control.

2. As long as it doesn't start raining them

I think it will be ok.

3. Yah, there have been tons of small toads in my yard this year. A guy's gotta be careful mowing the lawn. I've rescued a bunch of them as I've been mowing. They hop up when the mower gets fairly close, so you can catch them and move them to an already-mowed area. Cute little buggers.

4. Had a bunch of bigger ones that my grandson had all of them named but those have disappeared

Probably the raccoons on their night patrol got them?

But we have tons of little ones now all over the place. Too numerous to name them all.

Toads and what I think may be tree frogs? They look like frogs. Just not in water and not as green perhaps.

There's a bunch of them though.

5. Kid found one bigger than my fist the other night and jumped back about six feet. Reverse retrieving.

I couldn't figure out where he thought he was going, up a dry hillside. Maybe he was taking a walk, too.

I love frog legs.   That's about all I can add to this conversation.   :drool:

If you are going to harvest the frog's legs, at least have the common decency to kill the frog, too.  I don't know if it is just in my neck of the woods or more widespread, but just about every time we hit the riverbank, there are frogs pulling themselves around without their hind legs.  I don't care who you are, that's just cruel.    :hammer:

Plenty of frogs around here this year. When I mow, they try to hop out of the path of my tractor. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don't.  :evillaugh:

 Damn those toads.

I found one on my front walk one AM, darn thing was the size of a soft ball.

Lots of stuff going through my mind when I saw him.  Toads cause watts, bury a toad at a cross road to ward off evil spirits, In the south west people lick toads to get high, lots of story's about toads and here was one of good size just a sitting there.

I picked him up and brought him inside and placed him in a box with air holes.   What was I going to do with this strange little beast.?

More later.

Could toads be the answer to our energy problems?

If the DUmmies had the same toads hopping around their yard that I (and much of the state does) they'd never need weed again.

One of the DUmmie wymins must have kissed him and turned him into a toad.
