They may just be hiding, depending on what species live in your area. I live near a lake in a somewhat forested area with farms nearby, so obviously I am seeing them all the time. Mostly juvenile bullfrogs humping up against my house during a strong rain (lots upon lots of spiders live there, but I suspect they migrate when they are young.) Lots of (semi?) treefrogs too. I've only seen 4 American toads since I moved in in August. 2 of which I currently keep, 1 of which was very small late in the year and died, and 1 which I saw already dead in my yard. Can't say much for other species, but American toads are very common and will typically be found under leaf litter/loose logs. I found mine hopping about because I dared not enter the "forest of forgotten tears" behind my house (brown recluse, as well as larger and less dangerous spiders.)
