Top view from the but end of a toad in the parking lot. It has an obvious ventral white line and dark raised spots. It's back left foot are flipping the photographer, and not you, off.

Nose view of the toad. It's left eye appears larger and like it is skeptically raising its eye brow at us. It's nostrils are visible, no visible boggies its good to go out for the night.

My parking lot friend tonight. #westerntoad

A small western toad with cool bumps and a yellow line down its back sits on some drying light brown mud with a few sparse grass patches popping through.

So many little guys out yesterday - happy #ToadTuesday peeps ♡ #Nature #GetOutside #WesternToad 🌿

The California toad, Anaxyrus boreas halophilus, a subspecies of the western toad. A scramble breeder, they will soon be migrating in big numbers towards ponds and rivers to lay their eggs which look like strings! #herps #herpetology #toad #amphibians #westerntoad

We start #ToadallyTuesday at dusk. Because this kind of rejection is easier to take under cover of darkness. *cues up Ray Charles ~ “you know the nighttime…. Is the right time…” California Toad doing his best to humor the dumb human. #herps #toads #westerntoad #californiatoad #fieldwork #toadsong
