Roadways and vehicular traffic are a significant contributor to fragmentation of habitat and impacts to wildlife, including injury and mortality. The purpose of this project is to improve our understanding of the impacts of roads on Oregon's wildlife, and to identify roadkill hot spots and vulnerabilities among a diversity of animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. This information can help reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and make roadways safer.
Additional comments are helpful to include with your observation. In particular, the sex of the individual specimen (male, female, or unknown) and information on life stage (adult, juvenile, or unknown) may be valuable.
Please take precautions when documenting observations.
