Pacific Newt Roadkill: 14 found dead today; no live ones seen

April 3, 2019 (Wednesday) 9:45 am – 11:45 am

I found 14 fresh newt carcasses today. The migration season is definitely waning. I’m fairly certain most of the dead were Taricha granulosa.

Rainfall: (MTD: 0.18 in; YTD: 24.43 in) It was drizzling this morning.
