Hi, Out Walking – this was a fun post to write. I agree, the mystery-solving process via the comments has been great as well. Hard to resist a good mystery!

My guess about the small, bony raccoon tail – giant rats. Ya think?

Amber, I LOVE this post. Completely fascinating. I also love the speculation, begun in the post and continued in the comments about the identity of the perp. I have no opinion, as I don’t know anything about toad toxins, but I will say that I think raccoons are capable of just about any crime. My own recent odd find: a small, very scraggly raccoon TAIL, with bones, on Riverside Drive in the middle of Manhattan. Strange doings, indeed.

Hi Marvin – it may be too late to round up the avian suspects, but I’ll be watching for more of these shenanigans!

I must admit that I never knew a blog post about a mutilated toad carcass could be so interesting. I vote that you round up the usual avian suspects and submit them to intense interrogation.

Ok, 1 for a raccoon! Now we’re cookin’. I haven’t seen raccoons around – but that doesn’t mean they are not out there. I’ll keep an eye out for those bandits.

It was a tough job, but someone had to do it! I even showed my mom, who happened to be visiting. She said “eewww” too.

Hi Joan!
Let me clarify about the cookies – I was eating them while writing about the crime scene – not while AT the crime scene. I still wouldn’t recommend it though.

Hey, you’re right…I did say “she.” Hmmmm. Glad you like the post!
