Two of 13 AMFL blown to the Outer Banks by Hurricane Idalia.
I'm not sure 100% sold on American Toad, but the wart count in the black spots leads me there. However, directly comparing it to a definite Fowler's Toad from the same location, I keep going back to American - but I am not crazy about the cranial ridges. Some folks suggested Southern, but that's out of range by several counties, and I just don't see the knobs on the crests that would point me to Southern. I'm open to qualified disagreement, and I'd enjoy a discussion. Wishing I'd kept the toad overnight and photographed it some more in the morning, but it may return to the porch one night, so if it does, I'll toadnap it.
Making baby anoles!
