Lot's of deer recently, especially fawns hit by cars. The coyotes have them moving around onto the roads. The turkey buzzards/vultures usually dispose of them within a day or two. I can never tell if they're circling overhead for me or for some road kill.

I was doing a long ride in the rain today, 2 live turtles. A small one was right in my path, and due to the rain, I mistook it for a simple discoloration. For some reason, I chose to go around it, as did the two folks I was pulling for. Could have been a bad scene. We see quite a few turtles this time of year, and I never really gave them much thought as road hazards until today.
