North side - 3/25/2020

The weather was nice and sunny. Started raining and hailing after I got back into the car!
There was some rain in the past few days, especially at night.
All newts observed today were new, as I removed everything last week. Today I also removed everything from the road.
Other roadkills - some earthworms, 2 millipedes, 1 acorn woodpecker - I saw it only on my way back, so was killed while I was on the road. Looked intact, but dead, on the lake side of the road.
