This is another thread, I guess, of the sound-source discussion
earlier, but those recommendations didn't pan out for us.

For an exhibit, we need sources of gray fox and red fox
sounds.  We want the North American foxes; one source had
only a recording from Great Britain.  We have contacted the
sound libraries at Cornell University [they had only birds]
and the California Library of Natural Sounds [Oakland, CA].
Our Curator of Natural History is trying the source in Ohio
that was mentioned in the previous discussion about sound
sources [I forget the name, but we have the number].

Given our low success rate, does anybody know of any other
sources?  Possibly:  researchers studying foxes; special
collections; private companies that manufacture predator
calls [we're going to try some of those?]  Foxes don't howl
at the moon like wolves or coyotes, but they bark to one
another or something - so there's some sound-based process
going on.  The question is, who among Homo sapiens has a
record of these sounds?

Off-list or on-list replies are encouraged [the List is how
I found the source in Ohio].
