Wednesday Wildlife



The red-spotted toad (Bufo punctatus) is common across the Colorado Plateau, usually found along streams in side canyons.  Sure enough, we (well, more precisely, Michael Portman) came across this specimen while hiking up Slickhorn Canyon on September 23 from our camp on the San Juan River.  As you may recall from the last photo of my October 11 post, we immersed ourselves in this true toad's habitat.
