Toad Invasion

When I went to our pond today to feed the geese there was something strange ... Toads all over the place!



Most of the time I'm lucky if I find one or two toads, but there were hundreds and hundreds of toads. Light colored toads. Dark colored toads.



When I've photographed toads before, they just won't stand still, but these toads seemed to be stunned and didn't move ...



Until another toad got close and then it was like drunken speed dating or a toad version of a co-ed rugby scrum.



The chorus of mating calls from hundreds of toads was deafening. The shock wave of the mating call is visible in the water.



I'm not sure if this one was able to call in any ladies, but he was fun to watch.
