Grackle Green

Blue skies and lots of action

A GG volunteers sent in pics of the gulf coast toad that greets them every time they water. From UT “During the breeding [spring] season, males will call with a short flat trill that lasts a few seconds. Females lay eggs in strings, and these clutches can contain up to 20,000 eggs. Tadpoles hatch about one to two days after the eggs have been laid, and it will be another 20 – 30 days for them to change into toadlets. These young toads will hang out for a while at their natal pond, but will disperse as they get older.”
