It must be THAT time of the year

Last week while out biking on a heavily wooded area of our local nature/fitness trail that runs along the Wisconsin River I was very startled to hear the sound of Sandhill Cranes ... really REALLY close. A check of my (Third Eye) mirror showed two cranes flying right behind me. Quickly unclipping and pulling over into some brush they flew by - one was so close I had to duck my head in order to avoid being brushed by its wing. Gives a new meaning to 'honking' ...

Over the week-end out biking on the roads near our vacation home and had two HUGE Timber Wolves run out of the woods and across the road about a half-mile in front of us. They continued loping across the field ... Al and I stopped to watch them as they stopped to look back at us. All though we've seen wolves occasionally this is the first time that we've ever encountered wolves on our rides. Frightening and awesome at the same time
