Lincoln Toads

Actually these are Eastern American Toad not Lincoln toads that's just the name I've given them because these are some of the guys that we've seen in our yard this summer.

The Eastern American Toad (B. a. americanus) is a common species of toad found throughout the eastern United States and Canada.


This dude was hang'n in the pool area.


This one was in the tomato and kale garden. You can see what's left of the kale stocks.


See if you can spot this dude...

Here's a close up of him sandwiched in the crack of our walkway just in front of the potted geranium. It looked like an awfully tight fit but a safe one for him none-the-less. I hope these guys are earning their keep and consuming all the unwanted insects. Of course they'll have competition next year when the guinea hens are released.
