Was out checking my lawn sprinklers last night and came across a toad. Now there are plenty of critters around here but this is actually the first time I have come across a toad in my yard. Old lady came out and snapped a couple pics. Daughter came out later and the toad was gone. So I look at the pics the wife took and got online to get some education. If I am seeing correctly, this may be a near extinct Wyoming toad. Like the California Condors a breeding program was established and some population was re-introduced. I feel privileged to have come across this guy, if it is indeed a Wyoming Toad.
Endangered Toad?

Here the red-legged frogs are protected - from humans. As soon as you go near a habitat, a wildlife SWAT team will descend on you. I saw a ranger standing next to a red-legged frog pond and watch a heron have a feast of tadpoles. Both were crying - the heron of joy and the ranger out of frustration.
From my googling it looks like a match.
Coming from GA its hard to imagine not having toads in the yard.. My son (5) has a pretty much weekly toad roundup around our place and picks up 10-20 toads/frogs in a bucket carries them around for a bit then releases them back into the wild. haha

Looks like all the toads I see around here.
I thought this thread was going to be about a Suzuki Samurai or something.
See hundreds up here in the mountains of central PA. Trevor finds them in brothers firewood piles daily. He doesn’t bother them, just barks
I hope the Feds don't condemn your yard. Mostly kidding.
