    Monday's commute: a skunk just mosey-ing along in a field next to the road. They are so cute if you aren't in danger of being sprayed!

    On my ride this morning, I saw a snake (18-24" long) crossing the road just in front of me. Had to change course to avoid hitting it. Then as I approached my house at the end of the ride, a canid crossed the road in front of my neighbor's house and trotted through my neighbor's back yard. It was either a grey fox or a coyote, not sure which.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    We once saw a group of wild turkeys. I had no idea what they were at first. They sure made a lot of noise.

    I've seen a few snakes sunning themselves on the trail. DH and I saw a full-antlered buck on the MUT right in the middle of a neighborhood. It was strange because he was in a rather residential area with tons of people around but he really was an astounding creature to behold.

    Didn't see it, but on tonight's ride there was a barred owl hooting as we climbed a long hill.

    hear

    I think I cycle near a large group of frogs on my rides? They sound like people talking quietly..odd yet cool.

    I normally hear a Kookabura kookaburring in the mornings and a rooster! Oddly enough, the rooster is in an urban area right by a major train station..
