WESTERN SPADEFOOT Scaphiopus hammondi

Western Spadefoots have now largely disappeared in lowland southern California, although populations remain in other parts of the state.

Voice: A vibrating snore, reminiscent of the purring of a cat, repeated over and over.

Breeding: January to May, in quiet streams and temporary pools.
