I live in New York state. At this marsh I've found really tiny little toads that look like baby Bufo americanus, but they're really little. What are these?

Probably freshly morphed Bufo - this would be about the right time for the first few toads to be morphing from tads. It's always good to know some amphibs are doing well somewhere!

Take any pictures?

If the area is sandy then they can be Fowler's toads (Bufo fowleri) otherwise the should be newly metamorphed American toads

You can check the state range map here http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/d.../frogtoad.html
