Tuesday 5/26/2021 - north section

Tuesday 9:00-12:00 pm: 4 dead newts, no live newt!
Weather - nice
I walked with Keith. We documented a total of 4 new dead newts, all very dry.
Other roadkills: a fence lizard, bees, beetle, scorpion, cricket and harvestman together (it was probably eating the cricket).
Coverage: from the parking lot to the second stop sign.
Traffic: 12 trucks, 33 cars, 8 motorcycles, 7 bikes, 7 pedestrians, and 21 cars parked by the road and in the parking lots (2 cars at the far lot). We saw a county parks pickup driving, then we saw it parked by the Midpen proposed lot. Also saw a roads and transportation pickup.
We saw some cool butterflies and 2 very large woodpeckers, probably Pileated Woodpeckers.
