Anaxyrus americanus

Field Notes
Description:
Creamy brown color and very very warty. Four toes on the back feet. Two glands behind each eye. Low pitched but long and annoying croak.
Habitat:
Found in the water filter of the pond by the back door of my house (can hear from a block away!).
Notes:
Very easy to catch, you can just put a net by it and they will hop right in. Very loud and obnoxious too (especially when your mom finds two a day!).
