Woodhouse's Toad
Bufo woodhousii woodhousii

Sabal Palm Forest, Cameron Co., Texas. February 21, 2003
 

I came across this little toad during a downpour one afternoon, in a pile of old palm fronds.  I couldn't set up my flash, so I had to settle for a shot without one. 

I was very surprised to see any toad, but this one was close to the resaca, where there's some appreciable moisture.  A prey item for the Speckled Racers prowling the shorelines.
