Nikon 1 V3 Hodgepodge | Toad @ Sunset This toad appears to be an American Toad, which is the most often seen in America. These toads usually live in woodland habitats. It also likes grasslands, yards, and gardens. The parotoid glands of American toads secrete bufotoxin, a poison meant to make the toad unpalatable to predators. Bufotoxin is a mild poison, but it can irritate eyes and mucous membranes. If ingested, it is dangerous to smaller animals like dogs.
The Back Story This little guy just jumped in front of me on my walkabout. He then quickly hid under some nearby foliage. One of the nicer features of the Nikon 1 V3 is the tilt screen. All I had to do was put the camera on the ground, tilt the screen up, find the critter. Then, just a simple click. For additional information on the Nikon 1 V3 and more images, see Nikon 1 V3 for Walkabout Wildlife. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Project 365 Learnings | Toad on Walkabout This little guy just jumped in front of me on my walkabout. He then hid under some nearby foliage with the color and texture needed to tell its story.

Toad Sometimes a simple toad provides the color and texture needed to tell its story.

Toad Yep, it’s a toad; what kind of toad, I don’t know. After looking at images of toads on the net, I still don’t know. Anyone who knows, please let me know.
