Show Notes

This episode of Growing Native is a rambling reminiscence about amphibians and reptiles. With the monsoon starting up here in the borderlands I think we’re going to be seeing some of those. Yay! The photos are mine. That’s a pile of wonderful field guides. I love the old 1966 Peterson Field by Robert Stebbins. The western duded up Sonoran Desert Toad was the logo of the 1970s Tucson band The Dusty Chaps. And the boy and girl catching tadpoles, well, that’s me and my friend Cricky (Lucretia) back in those wonderful days.
