Found this fella while cutting grass one day in the big field. Not the safest place to hang out. I had to convince him to move on some place safer.

I think this is a "Fowlers Toad," but could be mistaken.

I'm just sort of ballparking here that this might be either an American Toad or a Fowlers Toad.

I was looking here to try to sort it out.

Any help? Thoughts?

I more often have seen their little hand-shaped tracks in the mud down by the pond or creek than I have actually spotted these bandits at the farm, but they are there. They're probably easiest to spot early in the morning or at night.

The one in this photo was scrambling up a tree off the ridge path as I took an early morning hike.

While I haven't personally spotted any chipmunk yet at the farm, they're almost certainly there scampering about the woods, singing songs and hoping that Disney will make a movie out of them.

Also known as the woodchuck and, my favorite, the whistlepig. I don't believe one has been spotted at the farm, but they're in the region.

Just grasshopper. I don't think I'll try figuring out what sort of grasshopper this one is. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a grasshopper.

Bigfoot?

Not spotted yet at the farm.

Yet.
