Hi Naturalist,

For your evenings viewing pleasure....I thought you would like to know
that tonight, on NBC Nightly News with Brain Williams (Ch. 4 at 6:30pm)
they will close the broadcast (6:50-55ish) with a segment on the Channel
Island Fox.

If you miss it, you can see it online just click (or cut and paste) on
the link below, plus there are 2 extra "web only" segments.

In one of the segments the fox does an excellent growl... oh so cute!

Enjoy,
Staci
