some general questions about american toads in the wild

[hopalong]

thanks uncle chester - some real useful (and interesting) information in there.

toby seems to have decided to use the space beneath the step as winter-quarters.
at least, that's what the pile of concrete crumbs seems to indicate. namely, that
he's digging out the loose material and wedging himself back under where the
steps meet the foundation of the house.

i'm not entirely sure he knows what he *should* be doing to insulate himself against
the cold weather to come.

you can see him at home in the last photo below. in the other three, he's at his
usual overnight hunting post.
