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.
