Listen to a Toad at Night up The Shoebox Canyon

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

Tonight, as Julia was walking out to the barn to do late check, she called back to me (I was still in the cabin), “Come listen to the toads.” Here’s what I heard and saw.

One of the many toads I found sitting on the horses’ and mules’ dry lot tonight.

Click on the audio player below to listen to the frog chorus. While you’re listening, you’ll hear the brook behind our house babbling in the background. Just what you need to clear your head after your busy day.
