160 dead newts, 1 live newt

March 21, Thursday, 9:30-11:00 am
Found 160 dead newts on the Soda Spring area, and one live newt just before Limekiln. Most of the newts were rather fresh. A few of the newts were quite small (took a second photo with my hand in it for scale).
Weather: nice, but was raining the night before - 0.44 inches, highest temp 65.8.
Saw 12 cars, and 5 bikes.
In addition to the newts, I saw 1 dead millipede, 1 Western Fence Lizard, and 2 dead Western Toads reported on https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/other-roadkill-lexington-reservoir-area
