Since it was gall week, I spent some time looking for galls, documenting 30 species by the road - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?nelat=37.21653253186834&nelng=-121.72129535138178&on=2021-10-08&place_id=any&project_id=gall-week-2021-9e58d299-60ec-4b10-af61-11ec0ab46974&swlat=37.14130816502103&swlng=-122.21546554028559&user_id=merav&verifiable=any

Weather - cold. We got a little bit of rain Sunday evening in San Jose, and I thought maybe a few newts will be out. Didn't see any.

On my way back I noticed a large trash bag on the side of the road, on the downhill slope. It had a large, dead wild boar in it. I reported it to Cal Tip. Not sure what happened there.
