Sunday roadkill report

[jhetley]

Two flat turtles (species indefinite) by a stream crossing on the far side of the river, one dessicated muskrat pancake just about back into town.  Not-roadkill, one woodchuck at a safe distance from traffic, surveying the Threat Condition from a sentinel prairie-dog pose.  Also a couple of cormorants flapping their way upstream.

Rain stopped, sun came out, temperature rocketed up to 60 F.  So I slathered on sunscreen and headed out on the bike, upriver and across the New Bridge that replaces last year's Bridge of Doom and back down the other side and home.  Got passed by one other cyclist, more energetic than me.  Which doesn't take much.

Usual assortment of trees in flower, including lots of poplar fluff floating in the breeze.  I grabbed a benedryl when I got home, which may short-circuit the pollen reaction...

We had a bachelor woodchuck that lived under our shed for years! I love me the woodchuck.

I have improved my opinion of the woodchuck since we quit trying to grow vegetables...
