Animals are less enthusiastic about the bright lights and noise.
They included a frightened peregrine falcon that flew into a window in Newport Coast and a black-crowned night heron chick that, due to fireworks, fell from its nest in Sunset Beach.
A gray fox, believed to have been scared by fireworks in Portola Hills, was brought in by Orange County Animal Control on Sunday night.
“I was told that a gentleman was driving along the road out there and he saw the fox, and he thought he might have hit it,” McGuire said. “He slowed down and looked around and didn’t see anything on the road, so he continued home. When he got home, she was stuck in the grille of his vehicle and still alive.”
