South section - 3/15/2024
Friday, 9:35-12:00 pm. 40 dead newts, no live ones
Weather: nice
Coverage: from ABR and Eldercroft Heights intersection to the first stop sign. I walked with Debbie and Michael W.
We documented 40 dead newts, a few were juveniles. 24 of the newts were documented on the reservoir side, 16 on the hill side.
Other roadkill: fence lizard, beetles, millipedes, earthworm. We saw some butterflies, bees, and turkeys on the road.
Traffic - 31 cars, 14 trucks (Midpen, Fedex), 4 motorcycles, 7 bikes, 3 pedestrians, 6 parked cars.
3 midpen pickups were headed to a French broom removal, and were curious about the status of the newts.
