Night Time Visitor 7-26-25

American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus)

After midnight, Tara needed to go outside.
She then went crazy over a discovery in a back corner of our patio and against the fence. Because it almost pitch black out, I couldn't see what was upsetting her until I went outside with a flashlight. That was how I ended up capturing this toad: camera in one hand and a flashlight in the other as I squatted down. He was only 2 1/2 inches long.

Fun night time visitor. Love the gold on his eye.

Interesting to hear he is so little. Neat shot using your flashlight.

He must be enjoying all the rain you've had!

Great shot of this toad, especially considering the circumstances. I can see why Tara might have gotten a bit excited about it.
