Tuesday, 9:10-12:15 no live newts, 424 dead newts!!
I walked with Jim.
Weather: a bit cold, cloudy. Jim said it rained all night.
Coverage: from the Jones Trailhead parking lot to the second stop sign.
Newts: we documented 424 dead newts, at least 8 of them juveniles.
Other roadkills: Tylobolus millipedes, centipedes, dead snail (and probably a few slugs), beetle larva.
Traffic: 30 cars, 22 trucks (SJJJ, Midpen, trash, County Roads), 3 bikes, 2 pedestrians, 21 parked cars.

Just before we got started, someone asked to take a photo of Jim's new vest. A few minutes later, a guy in a pickup drove by, and then came back and asked for the same thing :)
