Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

The Toad Chorus Is Back

On March 6, 2026 I started to hear toad calls around the pond after dark. So I went out with a headlamp to see what was going on.

Sure enough, I spotted this Gulf Coast Toad sitting on the pond edge.

Then, since I knew there were at least two voices, I looked around to find the other one. Eventually I saw another toad underwater, and after a minute or so it came to the surface.

Toad calling seems primarily to happen here during the spring. My observations last year suggest that the croaking happens when mates are being sought, but once mating happens and spawn is laid, then the croaking stops for a few weeks.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
