	Toad habitat I haven't been able to keep you up to date on the crescendo of spring --- wildflowers unfurling, migrants arriving, and tree leaves poking out of buds. With new faces and songs greeting me each morning, I've been too overwhelmed to post anything. Maybe this picture will be worth a thousand words. I live on a plateau raised about fifteen feet above a swampy floodplain, so I assumed the toad I heard calling last night was down there in the damp. But it sounded awfully loud.... When the toad started trilling again this evening, I braved the rain and caught him in the act...sitting on a floating piece of wood in the kiddie pool I use to soak my shiitake and oyster mushroom logs. I guess a bit of duckweed and a place to sit turn a kiddie pool into toad habitat. Now where will I soak my mushrooms? Brought to you by the Avian Aqua Miser, our POOP-free chicken waterer.
