Tuesday night I went to a monthly meeting of the Tehachapi Mountains Birding Club -- just to do something interesting to me and nurture my nature interest :) They had a speaker about these cute little foxes that are endangered but inhabit the Bakersfield area. So many of the pictures they showed were actually right around my office building and where I drive/go to stores on lunch breaks. Of course, now I look for little foxes everywhere but none spotted so far!!! Apparently these little guys don't go up into the hills of Tehachapi (we have only grey foxes up here, so I learned) but aren't they just too cute!...and apparently when they're studying them and trapping them for research (they release them afterward), they bait them chicken and of all things hot dogs!Thursday, March 12, 2009
