Frogs of the Times

Finding a Toad with a New York Accent

"Finding a toad in New York City used to be easier. Fowler’s toad (Bufo fowleri) ranges through much of southeast New York State and has been the five boroughs’ familiar toad for centuries — at least it was through my Canarsie childhood. Both Fowler’s and American toads may still be city residents, but it is getting harder and harder to find either."
