How do you outfox a fox? The red-breasted goose sometimes manages to foil its old adversary, the Arctic fox, by nesting near the falcon. The falcon repels approaching foxes, which makes a safer home for the goose. Having a bodyguard is especially useful in summer; geese arrive (47) their breeding grounds in June as the (48) melts, nesting in colonies of five pairs, and the new families (49) particularly vulnerable until the chicks fledge. But foxes aren’t the only (50) to the geese; faced with hunting, habitat loss and recent reductions in winter wheat, survival has never been trickier.
