Gotta love this list ... 41 minutes to ID.  In 2.4 decades of
twice daily walks in this neighborhood, the block where
the recording was made is the only place where I've actually
seen toads hopping about.

PS: Rich... saw another group of circling "raptures" overhead,
and noted the dihedral wing angle as positive ID for turkey vulture.

Also saw the neighborhood cooper hawk being harassed mercilessly
by a pair of crows.  The hawks made it to the front page of the
Sunday paper feature section two weeks ago.  Lots of folks with
back yard bird feeders took exception to the hawks using them
as a buffet.

And did get a recording of a woodpecker pecking; also got to
watch him closely (her not so closely), but Peterson key
was ambiguous.  Hope for a photo this season.
