File this under things you won’t see every day. Rick Kimble, a photographer and frequent visitor to San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge, caught a red fox and a gray fox vying for dominance. “I heard these two before I saw them. They were so distracted I got right up on them. When they heard the shutter they were off in a flash. I doubt I’ll ever get another chance like that.”
Check out the beautiful salamander Annette in Mountain View discovered in her garden in Mountain View.
By the second day of the Camarillo Springs wildfire, authorities were grateful that only 15 homes and a handful of RVs were damaged in the Camarillo area, about 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

An irresistibly cute photo of a gray fox is this week’s Wildlife Wednesday winner. Congratulations, Greg Kerekes! Here is the story behind the winning photo in Greg’s words: “This Gray Fox named “Ears” smiled at my camera last spring, taken along the South San Francisco Bay. He was laying on top of a hill while his 3 pups played below with a ground squirrel they had just captured. A proud moment for father fox, maybe that’s why he’s smiling :)”
