Also had my first close encounter of the year with Sandhill cranes. I've seen them flying far overhead, but today they crossed the trail right in front of me... If I hadn't slowed down, I think I might have collided with them on my bike. They seemed totally nonplussed by this. (I guess I should have gotten a picture but when biking my phone isn't that accessible. Plus I'm not an especially confident cyclist. Yet. This is a silver lining oft only medically sanctioned exercises being swimming and biking... When I'm recovered, I shall be a triathlete!)
Incidentally, I also had a heron fly in and land right by me. Today was a good day for me and large birds.
Not a good day for turtles, as that was my saddest animal encounter today... A flattened painted turtle on the road.
