The surface outside the hole was packed smooth and littered with a rabbit's hindquarter( lunch) and a gleaming white opossum's skull covered with tiny scratches from tiny teeth. I left it and went on my way to fish a while and called my dogs before they found the den. On the way back, I had rod and tackle box in my left hand while the right held the leads of a red-nosed male pit and a Scottish Deerhound. Next to the hole, a fox leapt down to the trail and stared at us a moment or two from ten yards,glorious in his/her red finery. When they were quite sure those creatures had seen them they bounced slowly and noisily away from the nest. I dragged the dogs on to the car. Excellent post. I learn quite a bit from you. Had no clue that the white-footed deer mouse was the lyme vector. Could the increase in the incidence of Lyme be connected with the rise of the coyote who usually eat a lot of foxes?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16581906027209733329noreply@blogger.com
