Notes

One seen crawling near log, other dead in small pond. Todd Battey also observed three newts in same location at same time. This area was the same spot where close to 20 newts had been observed the previous year. This time around the streambed was far drier and far fewer newts were observed, despite it being 2 weeks earlier in the year.
