Anaxyrus fowleri
Fowler’s toads resemble American toads in appearance but can be easily distinguished from them by voice. Fowler’s toad calls are sharp, high nasal trills issued in short blasts lasting 1-4 seconds. These toads are relatively common on the coast and are less common inland. They breed in freshwater or brackish ponds, marshes and vernal pools.
