I say one of these striking birds the other day in a field.  These beautiful imports can be a thrill to see.  Maybe some of the farmers in this area keep them or at least encourage them since I've seen these birds in fields near farm buildings or along fence rows.

Fox

Fox is an ACEO by MDeaver

SOLD

Last summer while standing in the yard with a friend we heard a fawn bleating in the woods above the house.  It was running back and forth on the hill with something chasing it, but we could not see through the trees.  We heard the running come down the hill and then heavier hoof beats of what we assumed was the mother doe.  Running hooves were heard then receding into the distance, then a shuffling in the brush and a beautiful, large fox raced out of the woods not 30 feet from where we stood.  It was so intent on the escaping deer I don't think it even noticed us standing as still as we could behind it..
