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!!!

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

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.

How cool to see an Armadillo!

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

melissam, dachsund, aka_kim & I saw a bald eagle and a bobcat a couple of weekends ago on Calaveras Road in Sunol (east side of the San Franscico Bay area).
We watched the eagle soar from it's nest and fly over the Calaveras reservior, and then I spotted what looked to me like a very large housecat crossing the field nearby. Didn't occur to me at first that it was a bobcat. D'oh.
