For several nights my husband has been seeing two animals. One larger
than the
other, the larger being about a third larger than the smaller. I got to
see it
tonight on the fence. It had a long, bushy tail, beautiful detail and
smooth.
I didn't see the color as it was too dark and the flashlight didn't do it.

When it finally ran off it made a sound like a gravelly roar, not a
screech. I
found something which sounds very much like what I heard:

"The gray fox is essentially an inhabitant of wooded areas, particularly
mixed hardwood forests. It is common throughout the wooded sections east of
the shortgrass plains and in the pinyon-juniper community above the low
lying deserts."
