South/Aldercroft side - 1/24/2020

Coverage: Aldercroft Heights Road intersection to stop sign.
10:24am - 12:22pm

Weather: Rather warm (70F when I returned to my car), partly cloudy. May have rained 3 days previously (not sure though - weathercat says yes, but that was in Santa Cruz, and I know that it also rained in Loma Prieta and Scotts Valley but it did not in Campbell.)
Rainfall: MTD 2.79in, YTD 15.141in (per http://www.weathercat.net/wxraindetail.php)

Vehicles: 13
Bikes: 5
Pedestrians: 0

178 dead newts, around 38 of them fresh
4 dead jerusalem crickets

Definitely 1 juvenile newt, 2 others that were more like "teenage" newts - do the teenage ones count as juvenile? I posted 3 that include my finger for scale. The one that's definitely juvenile I'll tag as such.

There were a lot more dead newts, particularly fresh ones, on the east-ish side of the road (further from the reservoir) than the west-ish side.
