"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
I was out doing a practice lap for the 12hr event at the end of the month & encountered a roo. Right in front of me as I zoomed up a little hill and around the corner.
It was huge! The roo bounced away to the left into the bush, we both stared at eachother for a few minutes and went on our merry way.
I sure hope I don't encounter any when i'm doing a night lap on the 12hr..It's freaky enough hearing them rustle in the bushes!!!
Not wildlife, but still cute:

Oooo.
I had a fox pass in front of me and a car today on Sligo Creek Parkway.
That was a first for me.
Cool.

Oh, neat, I've only seen foxes twice (and never from a bike).
We saw two coyotes on our ride Sunday. One of them was really aggressive, too, snapping at a person walking a dog.
vultures, cranes, loads of squirrels, occasional armadillo and occasional tortoise/turtle
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
