Observation Date / Time

Found body on road at seasonal creek underpass. (These underpasses may be good places to have rope bridges as, often, this is where I find tree dwellers such as Western Grays and Gray Foxes hit; don't know if Gray Foxes would also use rope bridges to cross road). Moved to side of the road for scavenger safety. As this was a Friday, there were more cars than usual and most were driving well over the limit while I recorded this observation. Vineyards with wire fencing on both sides of road. Seasonal creek empties into Sonoma Creek.
