Yesterday I wrote about Frog and Salamander Eggs. In the picture above are some eggs that are different. They’re the eggs of an American Toad (Anaxyrus americanus). I found them in a small stream running alongside the road further up the mountain.
Frog eggs are always in eggmasses. Salamander eggs are sometimes in eggmasses though occasionally they are laid individually or in small clusters. Toad eggs are always in strands looking similar to strings of black pearls like in this picture.
