Description
A male American Toad (Bufo americanus) making vocalizations for mating. The male has an air sack that inflates to make the charasteric call. The female will respond to an attractive call. This image was taken the last week of April in Upstate New York. The toads live in woodland forest and only return to swamp land to mate and lay their eggs. The toads only mate for about three days.
