    hmm

    I saw two bandicoots on my way home last night. I've never seen one & they were really cute!

    I just did a search & yep..bandicoots

    quoll

    A quoll is similar to a bandicoot but has a longer tail & more spots. They're more endangered than bandicoots.

    I meant to type-they were really cute!-but must have hit my backspace button.

    Friends of ours in Roleystone(hills area of perth) have tons of them in their yard at night! I just never get to see them

    On yesterday's ride on the 3500 acre farm where I work I saw several hawks, a turtle, a small deer, and some turkeys. Way cool!

    Ariel- Hawks, how cool. My husband and I saw one grab a snake in a field and fly off, only one I have ever seen riding. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen, not for the snake of course.

    On my commute home Tuesday I saw a lovely white crane. He decided his perch was unacceptably and moved a little further upstream, amazing to see those large birds gracefully fly.

    I also saw a mama and baby goat curled up napping amongst the goats I see every commute. I wanted to stop but was sure my beeping HRM would startle them or the other goats would be curious and wake them moving. It was the sweetest thing ever though.

    Yes, we have lots of hawks here and a few bald eagles but I have not seen one on a ride yet.

    Baby goats are soo adroable!!

    One day I am going to get a picture of the buffalo I pass on one of my routes. They sometimes stand up on a berm by the road and it would make a great shot!
