It hasn’t really been a focus so far, but I’ve already seen a bit of wildlife. On this afternoon’s ride I spotted cranes a couple of times. One was a pair of them on someone’s big lawn. The second was in a field I was passing, and I stopped to get some pictures. I’m not sure what the name is: the ones a few feet tall that are light brown with red faces.
I’ve seen a few deer. One was by the side of the road as I was zooming toward the state park after dinner. He barely moved to acknowledge me. I didn’t stop, mostly because I was going too fast to do it safely without passing him by. Which is a good example of the benefits of traveling slowly. I also startled a doe a couple times hiking the trails here at Wells.
There’s a firefly at my site that’s blinking at a rate of once a second. It’s like he’s on caffeine or something.
The other wildlife I’ve seen are campers. The RV lot is like one big outdoor party. And there are a few tweens even here at the rustic sites who seem intent on being obnoxious with their screaming, faux-operatic singing, etc.
