Chaos! How many toads can you count in this photo?

It is the peak of American toad mating season and this looks like it is a good year for them. Last year the mating season was brief and there were not many toads found. Today it seems there must be between 70-100 or more in the pond. How many can you count in this photo? I make 26, but there may be a few I have missed! This is just a fraction of the toads found.

I wonder if the higher water levels in the pond this year have anything to do with these toad numbers? Is this a unique occurrence or does this occur occasionally?

Incredible number of toads! I have not seen a sight like this before. I imagine there must be quite the chorus of toad calls there. How I'd love to hear it!
