On my website (http://www.naturesongs.com) I offer to help people identify=
unknown sounds they hear, and the Red Fox is the number one culprit! It's
such an unusual and scary sound, and people seldom actually see the
perpetrator. I always know just from the initial description what it is.
Also, the reports peak in the Spring each year, during the breeding season.=
The second most reported "mystery" is the Barn Owl, and Great Horned Owlets=
come in third or so.
