It may be July hot, but I have seen a lot of
widlife this last week, early in the morning, just as it is getting light. Does with fawns have been my favorite, but have also seen plenty of raccoons and one coyote leaving the suburbs to take shelter for the day in the Forest Preserve. I wonder how many people know what is in their backyard every night. Might be fun to check out a
night vsion moncocular, either an inexpensive gen 1, like the
Night Owl NexGen LightWeight 2X or, even better, a digital, such as the
Bushnell Stealthview and take a night ride on the bike. As kids, we used to do the same thing with flashlights, but that was way back before there was such a thing as night vision technology. Even a basic Gen 1 NV monocular can add a lot of fun to a camping trip or walk through the neighborhood park at night, assuming, of course, that it is safe and legal to do so in your area.
