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.

A great image! And great info. I once had the V3 but it had a unfortune fall😥. Keep the posts coming!
Thank you, Eric. Yes, they will break if dropped. I have had a V1 and three V3s. Dropped the V1 and broke the battery lid. Taped it with black electrical tape and it kept working.
