Toads

With near record temperature yesterday and warm weather today, the local toads have started their springtime courting and mating.

While walking the Wilmot Pipeline right-of-way I found these toads and a strand of eggs in the wetland area. An easy way to determine frog eggs from toad eggs, is the toad eggs are in a long continuous strand and frog eggs are laid in a ball like mass.
