The creature making those awful noises during the night was…
a red fox.
Evidently this is typical of female red foxes looking for a mate.
It’s known as the “vixen’s scream.”
The second part of this YouTube video (at around 30 seconds)
sounds exactly like what we heard.
We are pretty sure this fox has made her den under a pile of brush we are
planning to burn. Looks like we won’t be burning it anytime soon.
Paul talks about setting up a “trail cam” so we can watch for baby foxes. : )
We never dreamed we would experience wildlife like we have since we moved here!
We’ve seen deer, foxes, snakes, ducks, geese, a great-horned owl, a muskrat,
and more all within 100 yards of our house. Pretty exciting stuff for us city folk. ; )
It’s amazing to see the power and beauty of our God in the creation around us!
