A rare and threatened animal has started to make a home in the Thunder Bay district.
Reports of gray fox sightings have been increasing around the region and the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (TBFN) want to learn more about these animals.
The group is encouraging residents to become citizen scientists by keeping an eye out for gray foxes near bird feeders, especially at dawn, dusk, and after dark.
