I was playing around with the iNaturalist app, searching for toads & frogs (Anura) of Brazos County. Narrowing my search to the Gulf Coast Toad resulted in the following list of observations:

Are some of these IDs wrong? Some of them look awfully tiny, more like cricket frogs. Duh, silly me. I just realized, oh, of course they're still going to grow once they've metamorphosed into toads.

Yes, it is crowd sourced. Some will be wrong. I like iNaturalist, my dad who's a Texas Master Naturalist likes it. He has some volunteers who are very against it because there are wrong things in it. But the algorithm is decent and it gets regular people out in nature.

Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong but the Gulf Coast Toad is the most common one that are around here in SA. When we were kids visiting Grandma in Longview they were ther too. That have the yellowish line running down the top of their back.

Had one in my ground now blind this morning. He was my entertainment for most of the morning.
