Monday no-roadkill report
Jun. 25th, 2007 10:47 amNot even squashed squirrels. Maybe I used up my biomass quota with that long drive yesterday?
Weather is supposed to turn beastly hot (read "90 F") tomorrow and Wednesday, so I carpe'd my diem and headed out on the bike. Botany sidelight -- the orange hawkweed was blooming profusely in southern reaches of the state, while it is just getting started up here. Thus can you drive through the seasons.
I've been seeing a cedar waxwing foraging at the same front yard on my bike ride, several times now. Heard the distinctive "bzeep" call in the trees, also. I suspect a fledgling family, just as we suspect a catbird nest near our house. Have seen a catbird in hunter/gatherer mode almost every day.
15.31 miles, 1:05:54*
*odd coincidence -- that's the exact time, to the second, of another recent ride. Considering the vagaries of traffic, traffic signals, wind direction and speed, and the precise track I take around curves, I think it worthy of note.
