What wildlife do you see on your rides?

Yeah, I'm paranoid about running over a rattlesnake, but I guess that's really another thread....

Saturday, we saw a javelina and a bobcat -- unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for us - I dunno) they were both roadkill. Husband and I did a double take at the cat. I think he caught a bumper or grill guard while chasing something else (TOTALLY unidentifiable which did NOT make it) across the road. I wanted to take a picture of the bobcat and javelina just because it was so unusual to see them on our route, but I figured maybe that was just a little too gross (even though they weren't smashed up or anything), and I didn't want to become know as the road kill fanatic or anything.

Okay, I've probably just killed this thread -- just thought it was really neat to see the animals, but bummed cause they were dead.

sorry to say that our cars and skyscrapers kill an incredible number of wild animals. the skyscrapers with their reflective glass fool birds who fly into them by the millions and cars and trucks murder the rest.

Today on my ride i saw yet another of the tiny species of rabbit that seem to be indigenous to Puget Sound.

bunny no more.

no, this one was alive. He scampered away from me, into the black berries with his tail all puffed up.
