American Toad

 
We found this little guy right off the shore of Lake Michigan by Old Mission Point.  I turned over a rock to find him lying under it. It was a hot sunny day so I think that he was lying under it for the shade and moisture. This toad is an American Toad. Also known and Bufo Americanus. It is commonly found all over the state.
