I did see a Bob Cat right off the side of the road yesterday morning. It arched it's back when I drove by, I could tell it was a bob cat by the shape of it's face. I see several domesticated cats, but his was bigger and shaped differently.
I have not run over a skunk yet, but I have driven by several on the road from my house to the interstate. They usually just woddle off the roadway, and ignore me, thank goodness...
I have only seen one Deer in my early morning commute, but the one I did see was right to the side of road, and did not move when I drove up.. Had the deer in the headlight looks in her eyes..
I see not only a raccoon every once in a while, but whole families! Last month I saw 5 of them running in the shadows of the pool lights just a block from our house, it was a line of them from biggest to smallest. Then this morning I saw 4 of them. I first saw the two little shinning eyes, then two more, and then two more, then when I got up to them, another one came upon the roadway. Again they were all different sized. Of course I don't have pictures of any of the wildlife I see that early in the morning, so I copied these off the web... I LOVE living in rural Saratoga..
This is an addition to this post, on Sept. 6, 2009 @ approximately 0430 hours, I was driving to work and I saw a huge buck, with a large stack of antlers by the side of the road. As soon as I put my lights on him, he ran the opposite direction into the field. I only saw one, but he was huge, and just as I was relaxed from seeing him, just a couple seconds down the road, a giant owl swooped my car.... Beautiful.. I do love living in this area... except the skunks, which I did smell again coming to work.. Phew..
