...as a toad, not necessarily as a Fowlers, unless Fowlers is the only toad in the region there.

That's incredible. Any theories as to why? Nate??? My theory was it was out and about during the recent warm spell, but wasn't deep enough for the recent rain and maybe it got washed out. But what do I know...

It was weird. I've found plenty of winter bullfrogs and green frogs, but I've never found a toad past november here. Nate, this area only has fowleri.

Hm. Interesting. How large is this area? I'm just wondering if the range for americanus ends at some point along the Cape. I haven't spent much time in the area (plan to get there this spring).
