Houston Toad

From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Southwest Region:

Endemic to Texas, the elusive and endangered Houston toad is known for its high-pitched, trill-sounding calls in the spring. The USFWS and Texas Parks and Wildlife are working closely together to recover the Houston toad. As part of this effort, TPWD submitted to the USFWS a draft Safe Harbor Agreement for the Houston toad that is designed to encourage interested landowner to undertake conservation actions that could assist in the species recovery. The public now has the opportunity to review and comment on TPWD’s draft Safe Harbor Agreement. Additional information on the draft Safe Harbor Agreement and the Houston toad is available at https://www.fws.gov/southwest/es/AustinTexas/ESA_Species_news.html#HT_SHA.
