Woodhouse's Toad at night
We stayed in a great B&B (Bird & Breakfast they called themselves) with all the rooms arranged around a courtyard with a fountain. It being essentially desert, the courtyard was very enticing for many creatures and a number of these would come out and roam around at twilight.
The Woodhouse's Toad, is a medium-sized true toad, which is native to the United States and Mexico. There are two recognized subspecies. The epithet ''woodhousii'' is in honor of the American physician and naturalist Samuel Washington Woodhouse. ''B. woodhousii'' tends to hybridize with ''Bufo americanus'' in their overlapping ranges.
