Has there been a decrease in the American Toad population?

Yeah the fire flies as well. And Whippoorwills.

Still tons of toads where I live. I live out in the middle of nowhere. I have 20 acres of farm land and a pond. All my neighbors also have similar acreage and land. I'm surrounded by farms. So no loss of habitat or harsh chemicals around here. Every night from early spring to late fall I can find tons of toads all around my house and barns. Just sitting there hanging out waiting for something tasty to cross their path. A lot of them come back to the same spots every night. I also have Fowler's toads. Not to mention all the spring peepers, green frogs and bullfrogs that hang out in my pond.

The only thing I've noticed a decline in is garter snakes, ribbon snakes, and green snakes. I used to find them all the time. Now I never see them around here anymore. But I do find them at my boyfriends place in a county over.
