WOODHOUSE'S TOAD
I love toads. They always look bored to the point of passing out. Any amphibian that can survive in this semi-arid climate is one tough hombre.

CONCEALED SHELTER
Woodhouse's toads spend much of their time partially or completely underground to conserve body fluids and escape the unrelenting rays of the high altitude sun in northeast Colorado. They are very easily overlooked.

I found this Woodhouse's toad at least a half mile out on the exposed floor of drained Prewitt Reservoir one fall. He must have traveled out there at night.

If I hadn't seen it flinch, I would have missed it - or possibly stepped on it.

NEWLY METAMORPHOSED WOODHOUSE'S TOAD
2009 ia an extremely wet year in NE Colorado. It's been a great year for reproduction in the one-season amphibians such as toads and leopard frogs. By August 1, there are little, newly-metamorphosed froglets and toadlets all over the countryside.
