I always see, but rarely run over, armadillos, squirrels,racoons, frogs and snakes in various forms from stinky piles to road pizza. Today I almost added a hawk and another squirrel.
I came around a rather sharp corner to have a hawk explode off of the road, going up and to the right, and a squirrel (who he had obviously just struck at but escaped) running away across the road to the left. In the split second of reaction time I eliminated swerving right for fear of knocking myself out and the hawk out of the sky, or swerving left for fear of flinging the squirrel through the spokes of the wheel and crashing so just ducked down close to the handlebars and powered through.
Scary, but what a beautiful bird, and a lucky squirrel.

Chickens! I was riding last week and there were several chickens right by the side of the road (I live in IN and ride in the country. Haha.).
Seaweed. We've had serious high tide for the past week. Brings the ocean right up over the road.
