Day 125 - detour

On my bike ride today, I encountered a part of the trail that has been closed. A detour was in place that took riders through a nice neighborhood near the American River. I did a double take when I saw this chicken and her chicks on the front lawn of a home. Even though we live in a rural area with all kinds of animals as an active part of the neighborhood, I am still surprised by the sight of free-range chickens out on the lawn. A rooster was hanging out at the house next door.
