T. Cade 1958 Vulpes fulva 2 July Colbrille River-just above Oolamnagoruck While we were investigating the roughleg nest on the bluff on the right limit just above the Oolamnagoruck we heard a fox bark several times on a gravel bar at the base of the bluff. As we were returning to the boat, we saw it running along a bar at the edge of a dense stand of willow brush. The fox was within 60 yds several times, and the fox did not appear frightened by us. Several times it stopped to look at us. It was a typical red with very shaggy coat. 4 July Colbrille River-below mouth of Killeek- At 2210 we saw a fox sitting on a gravel bar at the edge of the river. It allowed us to boat right up by it without it showing any alarm-just out looking at us. We got within 25 yards, and the fox was collected with a shotgun. Another typical red in heavy molt-adult 87. Skull and as pelvis ranged. 3 Sept Meads River Coalmine. Men saw a fox on the high bank of the river between ARL wagon and the coalmine.
