Dodged a coyote yesterday early AM, totally fearless of me on the bike. Lots of hawks, red-tailed and Cooper's in the trees and on the poles out in the countryside. It was windy yesterday, one took wing just a few meters across the road's ditch, into the same wind I was bucking (10-14kts ) and was at eye level for the longest time while it got its airspeed up. Neat to watch.
