Foxes on the Field!

Above: A fox, on the open fields of Saskatchewan, photographed by Glen Munro. When two foxes were spotted on the Walker Open Field, no one had a camera on hand to record them, but in my imagination this image makes a good stand-in.

What: Two red foxes scamper onto the Field! And evidently it's mating season!

Where: On the Open Field, near Sky Pesher, where the tall grasses grow.
Observers: Ashley (first-person account shared via Facebook, above). Corroborated by colleagues in accounting, who have a view of the field from their offices.
Date/Time: Tuesday, January 3, 2012 in the morning, around 10
Conditions: Unseasonably warm and the Field has almost no snow, or I would have ventured out looking for their tracks.
