Reluctant toad

I spotted this toad in our deep egress window well.  I'm sure it liked the cool spot in the rocks.  I pulled it out and then tried to shoo it toward our deck area.  But it hopped back toward the window well and proceeded to drop about four feet to the bottom.  It was unharmed and I brought it back up and persuaded it to go a better direction.  I always wondered what it looked like for a frog or toad to end up down there and now I've seen it!
