Newt survey - North side, Wednesday 12/04
December 4, 2019 (Wednesday) 9:30 am – 11:30 pm
About a week since the rain started.
During the survey it was drizzling part of the time. I documented 101 dead newts, some were fresh, some have been there for a few days, but since I only saw one the previous time, I documented them all.
Other roadkills: one toad, one other amphibian, one millipede. I saw only one live newt, but it wasn't crossing the road, it was under a log (I haven't added it to the live newt project).
Coverage: north part - Jones trailhead to the stop sign (37.187875, -121.986516) plus spot-checked the Jones Trail trailhead.
Rainfall: (MTD: 5.26 in; YTD: 8.11 in) The weather was cold and wet, drizzle.
Traffic: Light traffic. Five gravel trucks, two maintenance trucks, 16 cars. The county parks truck was clearing the road, probably removing some more dead newts.
