Image of Western Spadefoot Toad
Description:
We were hiking down a trail in juniper/coastal sage scrub and heard what sounded like the far off revving of a chainsaw or ATV, or loud revving snoring. Looking up wondering what kind of weird bird it is we go around a corner and practically splash into a large puddle left by recent rains -- with a pair of mating toads. Nice to see they're sill around, though haven't seen them since.
