Here we go again... It rained pretty well in San Jose over the weekend, so I thought I'd have a look at the road. I was glad I did, as I don't think these animals would have been waiting there for too long.
Coverage: Aldercroft road to stop sign. I walked with Keith.
Newts: 20 fresh newts, 10 on each side of the road. At least 8 of the newts were juveniles.
Other roadkills: 26 toads, 8 tree frogs, and one bullfrog, one tiny fence lizard.
Traffic: 22 cars, 1 truck, 0 motorcycles, 3 bikes, 0 pedestrians, 4 parked cars.
