It sure would have been fun to have you all along for this amphibian adventure. I understand that we probably will NEVER see a Spadefoot Toad except when it moves to its breeding pool, since it spends the rest of the year underground, eating earthworms and other soil-dwelling critters. So what a special privilege it was to actually see those two. Thanks a million, Kenny, for capturing them and showing them to us.Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-45342542676099964732011-04-17T18:06:56.576-04:002011-04-17T18:06:56.576-04:00What an awesome evening adventure!!

Hope the 'expose' on the spade foot frogs did not affect future generations ;-)<br />I had never seen a salamander until last year - a red backed (?) - very exciting - I put him in my book. I am off shortly to see what nature has wrought since Sunday - rain and warm temps should provide me with treasures!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
