Foxy!
Out at Red Rock Canyon, I saw two female Gambel’s quail with so many little chicks, I couldn’t count them all.
I also saw the light do amazing things as it wrapped around the hills.
Then, oh baby! I saw three gray foxes. One was a brave little one and tried to sneak up on me (from the front). It was very curious. I did that little mouth click thing you do to get dogs and cats to pay attention and it took a few steps toward me. Then the wind started blowing very hard and it scampered back a bit to take refuge behind some steps. It continued to look at me though.
Tiny little bat-like face. Tail wasn’t bushy so I’m thinking this was a juvenile. Characteristic black stripe down the tail.
Very cool.
The photos are horrible and I don’t even care.
Wow! Pictures… or was it a pleasure trip? :cross:

Patti, I always hoped I’d see something like this…and I finally did!
