A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Anaxyrus boreas halophilus
I suspect a California toad but certainly a anaxyrus species.
Under a rock in planter
About 4 inches
If I were to get another picture, what part of the toad should I focus on for best Identification?
I believe your toad is a western toad. There are several species that look very similar to this in your area but without a better photo I am hard pressed to give you a better id then this.
