Joshua Tree National Park California a fellow named Josh

The sun set over Josh. A large, hapless bat maneuvered vacuuming insects too small for me to see. The stars came out. I haven't looked at the aeronautical enroute charts lately but lots of anti-collision lights were headed for Los Angeles.

 

A short distance away, an adult fox sniffed the roadway looking for a meal. About five miles down the road a skinny fox youngster looked like it would've appreciated a tuna and swiss on rye. It was also nose-down looking for a meal. It was my first time seeing a fox in the park and there were two in one night.

 

Americans spend $29.2 billion to observe, feed, and photograph wildlife in the United States according to the report ‘1996 National and State Economic Impacts of Wildlife Watching’. If wildlife watching were a Fortune 500 company in 1996, it would have ranked 23rd.
