Terri, Oscar, and I walked the North section of Alma Bridge Rd. from the Jones Trail parking lot to the 2nd stop sign

Weather: clear skies. Started at 47 degrees F and increased to 62 degrees when we were done.
I documented: 31 adult newts, 2 juveniles, and 2 amphibians (may have been newts?). No live newts
Terri documented: 41 adult newts, 2 juveniles, 5 amphibians (maybe newts), 1 arthropod (maybe millipede)
Other roadkill: occasional centipede
Traffic - 22 cars, 14 trucks, 8 bikes, 1 pedestrian. 7 parked cars

Is this the last survey for February?
I think there is one more, a south section newt patrol on 2/29/24.
Thanks, @teellbee! At the end of the month I want to process our data and sent it to Dr. Fraser Shilling and his graduate team (UC Davis Road Ecology Dept.) to analyze why the roadkill numbers are so low this season.
Oh, great! I’ll be curious to hear some theories they may have.
Wednesday, Jennifer, Oscar and I met a man in a country truck who stopped to ask if we were part of the survey for the road remediation, as it seemed that he thought they had been in the area lately. We let him know that we were just part of the data collection effort. :)
