American Toads!

American Toads are some of the most common toads in PA.  They are often seen near water sources during mating season which is early spring.  They range from 2 to 3.5 inches in length and have a distinct wart or two on their dorsal (back) side.  Toads and frogs are different in the toad has the ability to live further away from water than the frog does.  The picture below was submitted by Rich Kolka of Coventry Lake.
