71 dead newts (2 juveniles), 0 live newts.
February 10th, 2021 (Wednesday) 10:15-12:15pm.
Weather: Beautiful cloudless day, 60F but felt like 70.
Other roadkill: none
Rainfall: MTD 0.46in, YTD 9.43in (per http://www.weathercat.net/wxraindetail.php?year=2021)
Traffic: 16 motor vehicles, 5 parked vehicles, 11 bicycles, 3 walkers.
Midpen study: Pit traps were emptied before I arrived and there were no roadkill newts in their road sections.
Way more newts than I was expecting, since I was just here Sunday evening and it hadn't rained since then (literally just some drops, not even enough to move the rainfall gauge).
Lots of butterflies! Tortoiseshells, azures, and maybe another species or two of orange one that weren't interested in letting me look at them.
