It’s the last day of the shift. After eight days of tedious moss and lichen surveys, extra hot weather, and heavy smoke in the air, we are headed out for our final day. Just after crossing over the Wild Hay River on the Polecat, we spot something on the road up ahead.
BABY FOXES!
Mom and her pups scurry into the ditch.
We stop the truck for a minute and they poke their heads back out to say hello! For a short while we watch them frolic and play before heading off to finish the shift with our spirits lifted and a spring in our step!
