Boops, don't get "bear et!" (Family joke we use whenever cautioning anyone not to get munched on by a wild critter.)  I would love to see a white fox! I love red ones. And chipmunks! How exciting that you get prairie chickens too! We have them here as well. Have you ever seen them dance during mating season? What a sight! I wish we had bluejays and/or cardinals here, but we only get the stray one maybe once a decade or so.

The coolest animal experience of my life was when I was a child running around on the ranch and I came upon a red fox. The fox looked at me and I looked at it, for maybe a whole minute. We just studied each other. My mom told me thought that once she saw me and our dog sitting up on this hill and neither the dog nor I noticed that a fox came up behind us and sniffed my hair! I wish I had known. On the other hand, what a bad watchdog I had! It's a good thing that fox wasn't one of Boops' bears!
