A rare sight to see a Gray Fox during the day, a mother looking for food to provide nourishment to her kits. A beautiful creature.
Thank you for correcting my misidentification, as a Red Fox!

The beauty of an early evening burn.

02/23/2025

Traditionally, we burn on a two or three rotation with a lot of growing season fire. It is a joy to burn old Longleaf and wiregrass. The results are heavenly. This season is a challenge, burning heavy hurricane debris. Flaming pine tops next to surviving trees is added stress. We are just trying to reduce wildfire hazard.

This is what it looks like burning with hurricane debris everywhere. Consider this was an evening burn, 46 degrees and 44 % RH. We are trying to reduce fuel load now.

After the breaks were secured with additional black from a backing fire, a head fire was used to sweep across two year old planted Longleaf. The multi purpose objectives were wildfire potential reduction, elimination of volunteer Slash Pine and hardwoods, wildlife habitat improvement, and safe buffer to burn the heavy hurricane debris area.
