December 9th, 2020 (Wednesday) 9:0-11:50 am: 5 dead newts found, no live newts
Weather was nice. No rain since the first event. Rainfall: (MTD: 0 in; YTD: 0.93 in). Data from - http://www.weathercat.net/wxraindetail.php
@karangattu and me documented 5 dead newts, 1 of them juveniles. They were all very dry. Two of the newts were found in front of population study #2. They were included in the project, we can always remove them later if we get the photos from HTH.
Other roadkills: many Jerusalem Crickets and centipedes, and a few other arthropods.
Coverage: north part - the county park parking lot till the second stop sign.
Traffic: 6 trucks (including a fire truck), 37 cars, 11 bikes, 15 pedestrians, and 19 cars parked by the road and in the parking lots.
We were behind the HTH team, but we saw them at the end of their route, and we pointed out the newts near #2. We didn't remove the newts, we marked them with rocks (on the side of the road).
The traffic study has been removed. I thought it was supposed to be there fr a while, or at least I expected it to be.
The rowing club was open. All county park parking lots were open.

@merav, that's unfortunate that the traffic study has been terminated. I also was hoping they'd leave it in place for the duration of the study. When I was doing surveys, I noticed a very significant increase in traffic in January/February due to the rowing club, but others on the team haven't seen the same phenomenon. It would be good to have hard data to understand the seasonal traffic patterns.
