Other documented roadkill: None observed.
Documented human activity:
Moving Cars: 48
Pedestrian: 20
Bikes: 1
Trucks: 0
Parked cars: 23
Notes: I documented dead newts in the study sites on both sides of the road before the HTH team removed it. When I was returning, I met them at one of the sites(site# 3) and the number of dead newts they found on those sites matched the number I had documented. They also said it was strange that they did not see any live newts in their pitfall traps today.(For sites 1 through 3)
