Sunday no-roadkill report
Jun. 1st, 2008 12:57 pmThirty miles on the highways and byways of our fair state, and not even a flattened squirrel. What has happened to our critters?
(Did see the usual supply of bloodstains, so probably this dearth just represents a population explosion in the coyotes and corvids. God knows we saw enough crows on that drive to New Hampshire and back. And probably a raven or two.)
Pedaled downriver this time, then inland a bit. Buttercups blooming, and the first patch of lupines I've seen this year. Ovenbirds shouting "teacher teacher teacher!" at each other in the woods.
Chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.
30.12 miles, 2:23:40
