The foremost photographer of endangered species in North America, Moose first visited me in the mid-1980's to photograph kit fox on the Cal State campus. He has returned many times and graciously sent me jpegs for my web page. I had not been watching fox recently and did not know of any active dens, but I immediately thought of the Kern City Golf Course kit fox and my friend George, who had been so cooperative with the tv crew 3 years ago, so I called him. He wasn't getting regular visits from the fox, who had abandoned the den on the golf course behind his house, but he had seen fox regularly over the past 3 years. I recalled that George had told me that, after visiting him, kit fox used to go to Jack's house, a few hundred yards down the course.
Kern City is a retirement community and many residents are on limited and fixed incomes.
I understood that and asked Jack if he knew anyone else who had experience with the golf course fox. He told me that he was going to a meeting at the community center that night and would ask some of his neighbors if they were feeding kit fox. Please have them call me. I was unusually long-winded and the writer nearly filled her notebook with my anecdotes. We went to see George in mid-afternoon, along with Christine, checked out the old den and looked at the kit fox photo album George had made.
