The Song of Spadefoot Toads

Another rainstorm on Sunday the first night of August, and the Couch’s spadefoot toads were back in chorus!  There were also a few western green toads in the flooded field.  During an earlier rainstorm back in April, I heard the calls of New Mexico spadefoot toads.  Quite a variety of amphibians for a patch of desert!  (Scaphiophus couchii, Anaxyrus debilis insidior, Spea multiplicata stagnalis)
