Here we are on the Island, and my hopes are to somehow communicate with some birds (the scrub jay, possibly?) and just like everyone else, I’d like to see that little Island Fox. I’m going to keep an eye out for it. We went on a hike today. I noticed many lizards running around, some interesting insects such as the beetle with a red X on its back, but unfortunately, no scrub jay. Actually, any bird will do, but how do you bring a bird toward you without feeding it? I honestly haven’t the slightest idea.

It’s a bit strange to walk around such a “natural” area (in other words, no pavement, not many buildings, a lot of trees, plants, and wildlife) and not see any large creatures whatsoever. The largest animal I have seen here is what looks like a sparrow, followed by the lizard. I want to see an animal. Fox, where are you?!
