On this blustery cloudy day with brief bursts of light rain, not a lot
of birds out but a few each of several varieties of sparrow were
singing: song, Savannah, field, and towhee. Best parts of the walk were
two tiny blue azure butterflies flitting in front of us and a long (5+
minute) look from less than 100 yds at a robustly healthy and
lush-furred Gray Fox, who didn't see or smell us and was concentrating
on something on the ground during that time. Never saw one for that
long before, and never saw one at all during midday. (Definitely a grey
fox and not red - tail black all the way down to the tip, distinctive
facial pattern, grizzled above and only rusty red on belly/neck.)
