I'm not surprising the fox family didn't come close to goose on the nest: geese are larger and stronger than foxes.<br />I also love woodpeckers, one day I saw he was pecking a concrete pole :-) Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-77701814402219420472018-05-11T01:35:27.387-04:002018-05-11T01:35:27.387-04:00Vilken spännande berättelse du bjuder på David!

We'll soon be in Colorado visiting our son and DIL and this will be our first time there since they have begun to develop the large tract next door to their home -- prior to that it was home to (at least one) pair of red foxes. We have watched several years worth of babies when we've been there. We all hope that they have found another home where they can thrive.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-81146509693211017712018-05-10T17:26:47.610-04:002018-05-10T17:26:47.610-04:00Beautiful Red Fox pup, I love them.Beautiful Red Fox pup, I love them.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-3018072952540035812018-05-10T17:02:26.575-04:002018-05-10T17:02:26.575-04:00Hola David.
