Notes

I spotted a DOR newt in the middle of the lane while road-cruising, so Chris P. and I got out and searched up and down the roadside for about 15 minutes. On the way back to the car, I found this newt in the road only a few yards away from where the dead one was.

I'll gladly send you the location, but you'll need to deal with the poison oak on your own.
