STRANGE SOUNDS OUT OF A FOX

I was dead asleep last night when I woke up to the strange sounds of somethingorother underneath my bedroom window. Loud sounds, "sort of" like a tom cat but not exactly. I couldn't decide whether to just flip on the spot lights or go downstairs for my tape recorder.

After pausing only slightly about which way to turn, I flipped on all the outdoor spot lights to see what could be making such a sound. It was our fox standing right below me where I could see it clearly.

I always thought fox "yipped" and I think they do, but this one was wailing or something. More a call of distress but it was frisky and nothing was after it. We frquently have fox in the yard, both day and night, and this is the first time I've heard this kind of sound out of one of them. In case you are "thinkin' it", it definitely WAS NOT a mountain lion/cougar.
