Fowler's Toad

I wondered if this little toad had a fungus so I asked Laura Papp, Education Specialist at First Landing State Park about it. She said the majority of the soil profile at First Landing is sand so it wouldn't be unusual to see the moist skin of an amphibian pick up some granules as they move through the landscape.

 

If you look closely you can see where sand has dropped behind itself as it moved forward. It may have just emerged from its hiding spot, they typically come out at night so I was lucky to spot it.
