The Wild West
Nature notes in Denver:
(1) Two hailstorms in three days. Intense ones, though brief. Leaves are all over the ground.
(2) Saw a fox on the corner of 5th Avenue and Emerson, a residential neighborhood about a 25-minute walk from downtown and all its high-rise office buildings (25 minutes if you're a person; probably quicker if you're a fox). The fox looked at me, then headed down into a storm drain. Supposedly that's where the foxes live, in the storm drains. Don't know how that works for them during flash thunderstorms and showers. I saw a fox a couple blocks over from there several weeks ago (perhaps the same one).
Is it standard to have foxes living in the middle of major cities?
EDIT: Street view (without fox).
