Parked my car in a small park on the Sweetwater River just east of San Diego on the Campo Highway. Rode further east into the hills for three hours. Upon returning to the car I kept hearing strange noises under the car while I changed out of my riding gear.
Eventually this guy appeared on the right side of the car - nothing nearby so I don't know where he came from.
Good thing this guy:
Did not find the rooster - he was blocking the trail I was trying to ride at Daly Ranch in Escondido, California
