We saw a new one today. A wolf. It was hunting. It was sunset and there were lots of little deer and pheasants are in the tall grasses. We stopped to watch for a bit.
Since May, we have also seen a silver fox, a few bobcats, and the obligatory deer, rabbits, and assortments of snakes.

Today's ride was an organized outdoor sculpture art viewing ride described here: http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=34125
lst photo: part of a group art installation ..several figures crouching.
2nd photo: at a major botanical garden that was featured in ride as a stopover (if you had time.) Wonder if they will keep the topiary for the 2010 Winter Olympics early next year.
3rd photo: one of the featured bands at our cycling ride event at the end. They are a band that includes some Serbian songs. I love the accrodian design.Last edited by shootingstar; 05-07-2011 at 07:03 PM.

I was riding along and I saw one squashed in the middle of a road. it was a huge adult one. no picture coz i had no camera. It's so sad, these animals are very endangered, why can't the driver just slow down and let it pass??? They are very slow moving creatures and they are mostly nocturnal, so the accident probably happened at night when traffic was light. I saw it in the late morning.
The road it was on is a very well lit one, so i doubt not seeing it is a valid excuse...
an article with some information and a nice picture of a live one.

It's on Ten Oaks Road in Dayton, MD, not exactly a major thoroughfare. Here it is geotagged on the map: Originally Posted by withm

Here is a picture from my ride Sat Oct 3, to visit the historic San Xavier Mission. The church still serves the residents of the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.
