Reply With QuoteI saw a bunch in Virginia in March but that's the best I can do right now.
This is a discussion on Fowler's Toad breeding within the Toads forums, part of the Frogs & Toads category; Has anyone observed/heard Fowler's Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri) this season? Especially in Michigan or parts of the Great Lakes region?...

Re: Fowler's Toad breeding Does anyone know whether they breed verey successfully in slow-moving streams with a fair amount of shoreline vegetations? I know of a small stream where the swollen mouth moves slowly into Lake Michigan, and some kids I know found several tads there. I assume they are Fowler's, because almost nothing else that looks like that would breed there. The water stays pretty cold pretty much all year round. I suppose the cold water might delay breeding relative to a still pond in the dunes???? What do you think? And the cold would delay maturing??? because these kids found tads with hind legs I think in early August.
