Lots of red fox recordings, Dave. In Idaho, not far from Driggs in
the valley, we found a fox hole with 18 or so entrances. Dropped a
pair of lavs (ECM 55Bs) down the hole and a couple of them critters
stepped right up to the mic and began barking. Got great territorial
stuff along with some chuffing and young'uns.
