Mar 14, 2021 (Sunday) - North Side

Conducted survey of North side from 7:33 AM - 10:00 AM. Weather was 45F, cloudy.

Documented 97 dead Newts, of which 1 was a juvenile. Was able to rescue 1 Adult and 1 Juvenile, both were going away from the reservoir towards the forest. They had almost made it halfway through, so I looked around and saw if anyone was judging me, then gave them a helping hand, but let them cross the finish line to give them the satisfaction.

Mid pen study: Documented 2 dead newts in their survey sites.

The pitfall traps were not emptied, and I did spot 1 adult and 1 juvenile in two of those buckets. I randomly peeked into about 6 buckets.

Documented Human Activity:
Cars: 119
Motorcycles: 0
Bikes: 7
Pedestrians: 19
Parked Cars: 75

Notes: Most Newts were dried up, with a few fresh ones.
Since I was really early to do the patrol, did not see a lot of people. Towards the tail end of the patrol, I was greeted by the procession of cars racing to drop their kids for the rowing class which starts at 10 am.
