2. Horny toads - I miss them

TEXAS HORNED LIZARD
Phrynosoma cornutum

Also called Horny Toad, Horned Frog & Horn Frog

When I was a kid, the Horny Toad as we called them, were everywhere during the summer in North Texas. I bet I have not seen on now in 30 or more years. It's not that they are extinct, I hear they can still be found on some of the ranches in West Texas. Despite low numbers in East and Central Texas, the Texas horned lizard is still locally common in portions of the Rio Grande Plains of south Texas, the Rolling and High Plains of northwest Texas and the Trans Pecos of far west Texas.

Like this person, I haven't seen one in decades. :(

3. I saw one in Goliad

when I was at the Presidio La Bahia. First time I'd seen one since childhood & I almost didn't recognize it!

Sorry you were out of town last week & missed the movie. It was great! Hopefully, Austin will be one of the first places it opens; otherwise, you'll have to wait until Oct. 21.
