    Hi Spar:

    Where did you get px of the fox then?

    Did you know I go on fox patrol

    I must have told you somewhere along the line

    each night I go out, but have yet to see them

    You see, they are bldg or adding onto the rehab

    hospital where I go, and where they nest

    Last night, I saw

    2 hawks, male/female

    they female was dining

    and the male left her to perch alone

    observing here, it truly was

    wonderful to see them

    Ah, but the fox and the wolf

    are my totems

    How did your tests go?

    PM.. if you desire

    Sierra :)

    I got the picture of the red fox off of photobucket, but we do see them crossing the field sometimes.  I have also seen them in Norman which is a big city.

    The test went smoothly, won't know the results tomorrow so will let you know when I find out. Hope all is well with you.  Yes, the fox and the wolfs are pretty cool as long as they don't attack my pets.  Here it is the coyotes we have to worry about.

    I guess the male hawk was protecting and guarding the female, how cool is that.

    Night all. Sleep good.
