Anyone get wild living creatures in their window wells?

3. FWIW.....they burrow to escape the cold

and more or less hibernate.
We have had the same toad around the front porch for years. Somehow he manages to find enough soft dirt around the base of foundation bushes to get thru some pretty cold spells here.
Twice I found him when I was rooting around damp dirt in big outdoor flower pots.

all of our skinks, lizards, etc. disappear somewhere in the bushes/ground/woods and show up when the temps have settled, taking over the decks and porches and windows and everything from late spring to late fall.
