Toads in holes

So there's a traditional English recipe called "toad in a hole." I've never made it, but some main ingredients are sausage and eggs. That said, we have FOR REAL toads in holes in our Wildscape. I have observed this behavior by Gulf Coast toads in the past: September 2018 in the back yard and May 2021 in our brick flower box. Since May, the toad in our flower box has enlarged his hole and added a roommate, as you can see in my photos below. How sweet.
While out in the front yard yesterday evening, I noticed five or six holes in the ground. Most are no wider than a quarter. I beamed down my phone's flashlight in all of them and found a young toad in one. Very interesting!
