Last night I was awakened by the yips of the neighborhood fox, patrolling the yard next door. This is what a fox sounds like in the middle of the night:
"!"
"!"
"!"
"!"
"!"
Just a series of tiny little intense bursts of sound without consonants or vowels, eerie explosions of bright yellow that send chills down your spine--not quite animal, not human...the first time I heard him this summer it took me a moment to realize it wasn't somebody's little dog running loose...and by then I had psyched myself out so badly I didn't want to know what it was.
Still, it's pretty cool to realize we have foxes roaming the wilds of Greater Tyvek.
