The foxes did a great job mopping up the chipmunks that had been burrowing under porches and chewing on automobile wires. Unfortunately, they also murdered the rabbit that lived under one of my bushes. I'm still happy to have them around though. However, they have no idea about cars and are likely to be run over sooner or later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-522356498663214932015-05-08T11:09:23.510-04:002015-05-08T11:09:23.510-04:00If they would just use vacant dens this wouldn'...If they would just use vacant dens this wouldn't be a problem!

We do have alot of lawn which has the same environmental benefit as pavement due to the soil compaction and short root base of grass, not to mention the misguided effort by chemical companies to push their herbicides and pesticides on a population that wastes its time and money on this non-functioning outdated model of surbia. Couple that with all the rooftops sidewalks & roads, rapidly declining bird populations, and lack of biodiversity we have big problems here that must be retrofitted to restore functioning eco-systems. Love the foxes though and am happy to see this family doing well. Most I've seen look very hungry and mangey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-51286857757156243652015-05-07T07:22:45.121-04:002015-05-07T07:22:45.121-04:00Calm down Cronkite, I think it's ok to do this...Calm down Cronkite, I think it's ok to do this stuff once in a while. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interest_storyAdam Goldbarghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03940970270491817344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-23878001188360919902015-05-06T22:11:53.475-04:002015-05-06T22:11:53.475-04:00This is not news.

A thriving fox population indicates a healthy environment. They belong here. You might want to keep your cat inside at night, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
