Woodhouse's Toad - Sedgwick County, CO - May 2015
Photographed at Ovid Woods on 24 May. One of the few advantages of our recent Seattle (in November) like weather is that it creates a toadfish. This Woodhouse's (the common toad of eastern Colorado) was hopping down the highway through Ovid. Note that it appears to have "spades" on its feet like a spadefoot toad, but the enlarged parotid glands ID it as a true toad (spadefoots are, alas, not toads at all)
