How wonderful to have such wildlife so near to you - but then we have the seals and porpoises here at the coast I suppose.

I saw him coming but couldn't do anything about it as I was towing a fully loaded16 boat canoe trailer and any sudden evasive action or hard braking on my part would have resulted in a lot worse damage to the vehicle and people inside. I did manage to swerve just enough to just clip it's head instead of full body contact. I was pretty shaky afterward.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-62612611141691339062014-06-08T10:03:18.254-04:002014-06-08T10:03:18.254-04:00One wonders if the turkey vultures were rooting fo...One wonders if the turkey vultures were rooting for the mower or the fawns.

I wish your road super no more close calls.<br /><br />Years ago a bird connected with the front end of my car on a country road. I pulled over, and was going to pick the stunned bird off the road and put it in the grass nearby. Just then a large truck came roaring down the road. I watched in horror as one of its tires reduced that living thing to a smudge on the asphalt. It shook me to the core, how something could be alive and a split second later be non-existent.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-5738540619336639982014-06-07T13:41:29.204-04:002014-06-07T13:41:29.204-04:00Well spotted.Well spotted.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-21570612443984566652014-06-07T13:39:06.426-04:002014-06-07T13:39:06.426-04:00Years ago I *thought* I hit a bunny on a service ...Years ago I *thought* I hit a bunny on a service road while dropping my daughter off at a riding lesson.
