When I was replacing the bricks from around the access to our septic system, I unearthed this toad, nestled under a brick. Poor fellow, he had to endure being carried around in my hand for half an hour while I searched for my camera, which I had forgotten I had tucked on a ledge in the barn. After he was immortalized him in a photo, I placed him next to the bricks so he could dig underneath again if he desired. I made sure no chickens saw him -- last summer, I learned the heartbreaking way that chickens like to devour toads as much as they like mice.
