We see him almost every morning sleeping in the same spot in the rough on 14.  The other fox is smaller and hangs around near the end of the range and 2 tee.  We have three deer on the course at this time and on Tuesday some resident mallards gave birth to their new family of seven baby ducklings.  We have the usual blue birds, cedar wax wings and many varieties of hawks hovering over our natural areas.
