Fox in action!
Clever little guy -- and he got what he was after, since some chewing was going on.

Pics of trees scheduled for cutting down at Barton Springs, Austin, TX
From my Austin Tech list:
For those of you have not gotten to the Springs to actually see the trees they are going to cut down, here are photos showing, in detail, where they are -- we'll lose 75% of the tree canopy at the pool if we don't insist City Council stop this plan.

What I sent them:
I am distressed to hear that the city plans to eviscerate the tree canopy near the springs. We have had 80 temps in March -- that will only get worse, as, man-made or natural cycle, we're going into a hotter world than the last 100 years we've known. Those trees are critical to the comfort, and the beauty, of this spot we all love so dearly.
This would mean I can't go swimming until after dark, because I am extremely fair, plus due to illness I have trouble with anything over 70 degrees.
We have NUMEROUS Arborists in Austin who could give you an excellent review of what these trees need (pruning, mulching -- trees cannot go decades without a little TLC, if we want them picture perfect and at the peak of health).
We use Nickey Bishop at http://www.thetreetender.com/. His phone is 512-280-1958. He is not only a Certified Arborist, he has other Arborists working for him. Talk to the excellent, highly trained people Austin has to offer. Don't let a California firm (and whose great idea was that, because I won't be voting for you in the next election!) sentence our park to being but a skeleton of what it was meant to be.
Sincerely --
