This morning I came across this grouse perched in a tree on the east side of our campus. While taking these photo's I watched a small red fox climb a tree ... that's right, CLIMB a tree - about 25 feet up. I was so stunned I forgot I was holding my camera. I did get one shot of it in the tree, but real poor quality.

I am so jealous of where you live. Beautiful photos that help pass the winter.

A fox in a tree - ROFL!
![]() Lovely grouse photos! I wouldn't have known that we have grouse around here, except that one of them tied (with a tragic *thump*) when it tried flying into our living room. I grateful that it wasn't a turkey. We would have had bloody glass shrapnel all over the sofa. |

Stop using Windex. Teach Stolon, Jr. to leave handprints on the window.

Soon after the Military Police arrived with a shotgun. When they carefully approached the dangerous creature, it turned out to be a branch with a leaf at the end that was moving back, just so, in the breeze. I was embarrassed and slithered away hurriedly. The power of suggestion is amazing!

Don't know how I missed this thread for so long.
Someone once told me she had seen a fox climb her persimmon tree to get the fruit, and I was very skeptical. Seems like I owe her an apology! |
