jhetleyOne adult beaver squashed-enough that I'm identifying it by fur and size. Also, couple of squirrels.
Not-roadkill, a pair of loons in amongst the cormorants on the river. The loons would be transients stopping off for a quick fish or two (maybe some of Fisheries and Wildlife's carefully-nurtured Atlantic salmon smolts . . .), as they generally settle down on lakes and ponds for breeding territory. Tidal rivers are short on nesting locations.
(Edit: forgot to mention the not-roadkill muskrat seen swimming in a roadside pond.)
Windy* but relatively warm this morning, so I headed upriver and across and down. Indication of the wind effect would be my average of about 10 mph upriver and 15 down . . .
But 'tis all exercise.
26.11 miles, 2:07:38
*"Windy" defined as north wind 25 mph gusting to 35. But I wasn't the only cyclist out in it. We get desperate around here.
