It's the darndest thing! I'd never SEEN a peeper before we moved here...& now we've seen four of them in four weeks' time. The first one, I'd posted about here: he was on my windowscreen one night, & he lived here for a week til it rained again, then got released 
He ate fruit flies while he was our guest. It's always a treat to see wild critter guests eat (when they don't rip up your garbage bags or your flowerbeds to do it).
The other peepers were in the yard, & one was on the screen door.
What's really extraordinary is the color range among all of them. The first one was the pale yellow of custard or an omelet - a very light & eggy color! The next was bright pumpkiny-orange-rust, with a sort of sparkly metallic-flake pearlescence - really fancy paint job on that guy! He was right in the grass, AFTER the lawn got mowed. :-O The third was sunflower golden, & the fourth was the color of pancakes. It's a treat to see them. I don't think it will ever lose its novelty!
We've also got a lot of red efts wandering around, & sadly I see a lot of dead ones along the side of our not-at-all-busy road. I don't know what kills them, unless we've got some sadistic early-morning jogger in the neighborhood or something :-P
Henry, the american toad who came to live here after my Gulf Coast toad died, returned to the outdoors. He had a very anxious & frightened nature, which made him a poor captive. He did not like being exposed & so spent most of his time buried (more than usual even), & he peeped his alarm call quite often. His sucessor, Albert, was on our very door-step one rainy night. Albert is very much more laid-back, not at all alarmed by movement outside the tank. I'm not overfeeding him, but we ARE establishing that tank visits = waxworms, so he's getting 'socialized'
