Morning Visitor - Toad _ August 29, 2011
When I look out the sliding glass door in my dining room this morning, I saw this tiny toad that is about 2" long. He was between the glass door and the screen and was about 15" up the screen. I don't know how and when he got there, because the last time I opened that door, it was about 6 pm yesterday. He must have spent the night there. I slid the glass door open slowly and took some photos of him and then unlocked the sliding screen and opened it about 5". He is finally gone and free to get back to nature.
