the 'red fox'(reynard) looks for mate @ 'mount auburn' .g,mclean "call of the wild"

i am sad 'but'had to send this out. after testing at tufts (grafton) the two year old red fox vixen was definitely poisoned with an anticoagulant such as 'deacon'. i have just spent 2 hours reading upon the different poisons . how pleasant on a Sunday morning. shades of 'lucrezia borgia' .

the beautifull male fox (reynard) has been searching the cemetery looking for his mate all week . they got together in the late fall and prepared for the winter and their young (kits) in the spring.

i am sorry for the folks at 'mount auburn" who in the past have tried to solve this problem. i have been getting some great winter bird photos and will start sending them out .

thank you for all the e-mails i have been getting and your concern for the fox family, there are a lot of nice people out there, george mclean
