Wow, that is cool. I don't see the photos or links you mentioned though. I'm not a fox expert, but they are not uncommon here--just seldom seen. Healthy foxes are not generally a threat to people. Dawn and dusk are the usual feeding times, but I wonder if your animal is raising young nearby--they will forage more during the day then, due to greater dietary demands. The drought may have lowered the amount of natural prey and other food items available, or it may have just learned to scrounge in an urban setting. They are excellent climbers. The best fox sightings I've had were during a late return from a hike at Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. The sun had set and it was near closing time. There were more than a dozen foxes that showed up to scrounge for scraps around the picnic tables near the Willow Springs Picnic Area.

Not that I have noticed here. Fox squirrels used the be the primary one in this area and I have seen them jump from tree to distant tree branches with no hesitation. Probably the fox squirrels have figured out that the grays will knock enough feed down that they do not have to work. Our conservation department has printed several articles that the two groups do not interbreed. However we rarely see a pure squirrel of either type. You might start seeing some every interesting combinations. The one I really liked was the longer fox fur on a white bellied fat one.

The truth is there are few, very few, true neutral greys. Thinking that all grays have either a green, purple, blue, pink, brown undertone is just plain the wrong way to think about it. It's bassackwards. And this is why/how: It's not a matter of looking at grey paint colors and trying to determine their colorful undertones. It's a matter of *seeing* colors that have been grayed down SO FAR they look almost neutral, achromatic, colorless -- or *grey*. Also correct to say toned down, knocked back or desaturated instead of grayed down. Some say there's no difference - it's a matter of semantics- undertone vs. grayed down. But it's not. It's a matter of a fundamental understanding of how color works three-dimensionally in the built environment Plus, it's not how architectural paint is mixed - architectural paint isn't mixed from the point of view of adding color to create an undertone. It's mixed from the perspective of chromaticity (or colorfulness) and managing it down - desaturating, knocking back, toning down. Hyper-focusing on just one part of a color, the undertones, instead of reaching for a more holistic embrace of overall color characteristics especially when dealing with color three-dimensionally isn't wise. If you have little natural light and are relying on recessed lighting, then I'm guessing your room is basically lit by halogens. Halogens produce clean, *white* light and render colors accurately. So that's what we're essentially working with - clean, white light that will render your paint colors accurately. The Master Palette from ICI/Dulux which is now AkzoNobel has one of best collections of grey paint colors. Under that AkzoNobel umbrella is the brand Glidden. So that means that The Master Palette is also used for the Glidden brand. Which means you can go to The Home Depot, because they carry Glidden Paint, and get color chips from The Master Palette. Here are six greys I think you should try (get chips): Silver Cloud 30YY 63/024 Sutton Place 30YY 54/030 Zeppelin 30YY 46/036 Grey Pearl 10YY 63/027 Roma Haze 10YY 54/034 Chinchilla White 10YY 46/041

We live in Central Toronto and have been warned by Animal Control to watch out for coyotes in the area. We have a dog - 22 lbs., but people with large dogs, being walked on leash, have had their dogs attacked by coyotes. Raccoons and skunks are a nuisance, coyotes are a whole different ball game. Of course I understand that we are taking over their natural habitat, but that would be small comfort if I had to do battle for my dog's life - which I would do - the coyotes would have to take out both of us. Animal Control has suggested that people take down their bird feeders - I feel sorry for the birds, but ... A friend of mine has a red fox living in her back yard. Her husband thought she was making it up until they came face to face. He tried to scare the fox off - not happening. I have bought a small air horn just in case we encounter the coyotes.
