Photo of the Day - May 18

Fox On Shemya Island: The Blue Fox (or Russian Fox) there are about 18 of these left on the island, they are very tame and can be a nuisance sometimes as they are always looking for a handout. Shemyans call them "Scruffies". Photo Courtesy Karen Gortmaker

A little history for those who don't know where Shemya Island is: Shemya which you've never heard of unless you've been there or know someone who has been. Shemya is a two mile by four mile island at the end of the Aleutian chain, 200 miles from Russia. The weather can change in a flash.
