Observation Date / Time
Riparian/wetland/willow/flowing creek adjacent to highway. No sign on pavement that animal was hit, nor really much trauma to animal.Placement on shoulder did not seem natural either. Perplexed by evidence as to a legitimate roadkill, but found along the highway so it is reported as such.
