Neither of which, by themselves would be surprising because it's a horse pasture and bikes are allowed on the trails. The positioning of the two seemed rather odd however. I was able to ride quite close, within about 20 feet, before a common poorwill flushed from the trail and I realized what it really was. The glowing orange eye reflected the light from my bike's headlight. I also found a pair on the road down to the back gate, and the single bird was near them, bringing the count to three. I have seen them in Foothills park some years ago, on the Trappers Trail fireroad, but this is a first for me in Byrne Preserve, and I'm not infrequently there after dark.
