5 May Harbor Island, Alaska.
Kohlhase's Fox Farm.
Two were seen cavorting
in and around the build-
ings. They frequently fly
into the porch of the main
residence where Mr Kohlhase
has made a perch for them
of a shingle protruding hor-
izontally from the wall.
There are very few moments
when they are not chatter-
ing.. A favourite spot for
one of them (may be both)
is on the south peak of
the shop roof - where it
will sit & chatter for
a minute at a stretch.
7 May These two seen as they
flew out of the porch.
8 May Two seen flying over shop.
