Sunday roadkill report

[jhetley]

Bad night for the porcupines -- three dead, two adults and one youngster or partial. Also, red fox and probable marten. The latter was on the other side of the road, weasel-shaped body, but thicker and longer, tan fur.

Floral report pretty much normal -- lot of asters and goldenrod, purple loosestrife, goats-beard, a few defiant buttercups still blooming. Not many leaves turned on this route.

Headed out, got annoyed by the wind, didn't take a longer route. Ride still takes me over 1000 miles for the year. Did not die.

24.36 miles, 2:05:55

I'm sorry for the wildlife lost.

Roadkill is down this year, based on my meticulous survey. Don't know if that represents lower population or less road traffic. Or an increase of scavengers.
