I walked with Ross, from 4:05-5:50 pm
We documented 18 new newts. I added flags to all the new newts, getting up to flag #62. There were probably new newts next to old flags. I didn't add a new flag to those. It was really interesting, as we could see that many of the newts were disintegrating from the heavy rains, in many cases only pieces were left.
It was cold, pretty heavy rain. We were so glad to see about 10 live newts, most of them on our way back, when it was already pretty dark.
Traffic: 6 trucks, 41 cars, 1 parked car on the road, a few more in the main parking lot. Most traffic was around 5:00, maybe coming back from the boat club.
