I spirit an afternoon this week Wllldflilfi along a stretch of North shore sand hills checking the h: end o! the spring flight of wild Reese. Ibx sign was very plentiful. Tracks amid the scrub and dune flail and an the open sand spits tlilt Jutted out into the water showed that foxes were everywhere in abunda . Once along the edge of a brackish lagoon that nestled inside the dunes I saw where a fox had examined the spot where a flock of w"dgeese had spent the night, There were no signs denot- 108 that reynard had gotten any more than a tantalizing sniff.

I'm. late afternoon as I drove up a long lane leading to a secondary dirt mad I saw two pairs of Huns less than one hundred yards apart and a mile or so farther on a third pair flushed from the 514s 0g me road. In the deep dusk of evening in another section of shore line I was startled by the sudden yapp lfllrr of a female fox in a thicket close by as I walked back to where the oe-r was parked. An hour later as I sat and listened to the night sounds and freshened up with a swig of tea. from the thermos and munchad on a sandwich prepar- stsrting hcmsrward I heard two different foxes barking less than a quarter lniie away. . . and yet pairs of Hum are a common sight in this same area.
