Have you seen Western Toads on Whidbey and Camano Islands? Adults are fist-sized, chunky, short-legged, warty amphibians with distinct knobs (glands) where you might expect ears and sometimes a light-colored stripe running down the middle of the back. 

Please use this form to report sightings of Western Toads in Island County. 

Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife designates Western Toads as Priority Species, and in 2020 the Washington State Court of Appeals ruled in WEAN's favor to uphold protections of upland toad habitat in Island County. We're trying to understand where Toad populations are recovering and where further action can be taken to protect their ongoing recovery. Your reports will be used to gain insight into toad population by area and into toad migration routes. Your privacy is protected, and any information submitted will be compiled and anonymized before being shared outside the WEAN team.
