Index of Subjects Hi Heather and All Thanks for reminding me of the fox the other evening. It was on a back road in Lunenburg county somewhere. Forget where but crossed the road ahead of me just at dusk. A silver fox with great silver tips to its hair - a real beauty. Not often you see that color phase. My grandfather was a fox rancher - got his start by digging out fox dens and taking the black pups home to raise by hand. A delicate job. About the mystery duck - I saw some advertised on the www for $(US)83 plus shipping. Not much wonder the owner puts lots of bands. Hard to believe they are realised on purpose! If they are not pinioned properly they will fly. A friend brought me some fancy duck he got somewhere - I forget the variety - said the wings were properly clipped - put it in a pen and it jumped in the air and the last we saw of it was going out over the bay. He clipped both wings - not just one. Have a nice fall Paul --- Heather Drope <heather.drope@ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: > While looking at Bernards duck photo I clicked onto > the next photo which > was the Fox Crossing sign and the fox crossing the > road.
