Observation ID: 160830

These crows were eating something off the street. I've been wondering if crows eat the newt roadkill. I've seen this phenomenon several times now, but I haven't been able to get a closeup to see if they're actually eating newts. There were a lot of decomposed newts in this location, though. I wonder if the poison in the newts' skin deteriorates over time so that it's safe for the birds to eat?
