Great pics! I couldn't tell if the missing ear was a healed injury or a birth defect when I saw the fox last weekend. Did you have any indication? Staci suggested a great name for this gal(?) - Van Gogh. So unless we hear that it's already been named, I suggest we go with that. Staci also has an email out to Tim Coonan to see what additional info he has on Van Gogh. We'll let everyone know if we learn anything new.<BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I captured good series of photos of the Island Fox with missing ear. Missing ear did not seem to be infected and animal was happily forging for food on the valley floor. The injury appears to be healed with no visible blood. Fox appears to be a female (no boy parts). If you would like copies of the high-res photos please contact me.</SPAN></FONT></P>
