Technology allows us to see which search terms folks use to find us online at Morning Bray Farm. There are the usual and expected terms and phrases, such as “morning bray” and “the morning bray farm blog,” and terms and phrases generated by earlier posts we’ve done, such as “hummingbird moth…”
…and “stuffed jalapeños.”
But who knew “poop” was such a popular search term? Because of our post on “toad poop,” “poop” – in one form or another - has generated a total of 345 visits to our blog so far this year.
We’ve had visits from folks who searched on the following phrases: toad poop, skunk poop, poop, skunk poop pictures, frog poop, skunk scat, toad poop picture, what does toad poop look like, toad scat, toad poo, toad feces identification, raccoon poop, what does frog poop look like, frog feces identification, poop in my garage, toad poop pics and identifying toad scat.
If you do a search on Yahoo! for toad poop, our toad poop picture comes up first. I suppose there are worse things to be known for, right? ♥

My youngest daughter is frog-obsessed. I told her about the toad poop on this blog. . .I’m willing to bet she represents 90% of those hits!

Very interesting!
Seeing my “Keyword Analysis” on StatCounter I use, the keyword to find Leaves of Grass today is the fruit “jaboticaba”.
Did you know StatCounter? I think it is a great site. Link here: http://statcounter.com/

Sonia,
Thanks! I’ll check it out. I’ll also have to look up jaboticaba.

It’s just that inquiring minds want to know.
At our house, we have decided that no matter what your age, if the word ‘poop’ is said, we all giggle like little boys. We’re a mess, I know.

CeeCee,
Guess what I just did? I giggled like a little boy (well, technically, like a little girl I suppose).
November 3, 2010 at 7:38 am
Deep down, we all have a 9 year old boy inside of us.
OK, maybe not so deep down…
November 3, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Cathy,
Yeah, I don’t think mine is that deep down. I can be convinced to act like a juvenile at the drop of a hat.
November 3, 2010 at 8:14 am
Ok, I’m giggling like a little girl!
November 3, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Nancy,
Did your giggles bring on suspicious stares from your coworkers?
November 3, 2010 at 8:23 am
Eww, yet … strangely compelling.
November 3, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Winter,
What can I say?
November 3, 2010 at 8:36 am
That has me grinning ear to ear.

Carolynn,
Happy to know it.
November 3, 2010 at 8:46 am
I’m dying to know how many of those “poop” hunters have become regular readers.
November 3, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Flartus,
I know, right?
November 3, 2010 at 9:24 am
Gosh…I don’t think I ever googled the word poop. But now you’ve made me giggle too!
November 3, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Rosanne,
I’d like to think that we’re among the majority when we say we have never googled the word poop.
November 3, 2010 at 12:40 pm
It’s a fine specimen!
November 3, 2010 at 5:45 pm
Deb,
Why, thank you. Thank you very much.
November 3, 2010 at 1:31 pm
How odd that you should write about this on this very day.
(Explanatory post to follow.)

June,
I’m intrigued. Can’t wait to see your post.
November 3, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I think some people need to get a life……
Think of all the good that could be done in the world if people volunteered 1/10 the time they spend doing things like googling poop…………..
Yikes.
November 3, 2010 at 5:42 pm
Vicki,
You’ve got a good point there.

I thought we had a skunk and on a chance searched toad poop as we have one that sits under the window at night. Turns out it is the toad….never thought he could make such a big stool….Thanks for the pic!

Rob,
Mystery solved. You’re welcome!

I’m so happy your photo is at the top of the ‘poop’ search. With lots of wildlife, I was concerned about what was getting into the yard at night (rattlesnake, racoon, skunk, bobcat, coyote, etc.) Haven’t seen any of these (except the snakes) inside the fence so I am very happy to have identified the mysterious frass as toad! We DO have a large toad in the sandbox and I am happy to know that the most innocuous animal is the one leaving presents. Thanks for the peace of mind…

Sheri,
You’re so very welcome (typing with a big smile on my face).

Ditto what was said above. Looking for answer to the question…What is living under my concrete patio and leaving a large poop everyday. I live in southern Florida…here you can’t be too careful! haha Thank-you! Yes, it’s the poop of a large cane toad, not a giant python or a baby alligator

I have a photo titled “possum poop” on flickr. It has, as of today, 2448 views. It is my 3rd most viewed photo. Who knew!
