Another Sighting


Our neighbors across the street told us that they saw an animal they thought at first was a dog, then maybe a coyote running along the top of the wall between their house and the neighbors about 10 p.m. last Sunday night.  As they described the critter, we though it might be the Gray Fox, and when we showed them the picture they said that looked like the same animal.  

There is an orange tree on one side of the wall and they have a wonderful Fuerte Avocado tree on their side, and the local canyon rats have routinely raided both trees.  It would make sense for the fox to be there; they are climbers and they eat both fruit and small mammals and my guess is that this fox is eating a lot more rodents than he is oranges.  

We're all in favor of that, and it's nice to know he's still patrolling the neighborhood.
