What a coincidence! I was just about to ask why I keep finding little toads
in one of my HC bluebird boxes. I guess they're toads; I don't know about
herp* things. I posted on the bluebird list when I found the first one and
nobody had an explanation. Found a second one last week. Both were alive and
less than an inch long with legs retracted.

Anybody know why they're there, how then get there, etc.? Or do these
metamorphose somehow into Bluebirds?

Thanks,
