Foxes Galore...

We seem to have a good supply of red foxes this year. This has been clear by the multi fox poops I find daily on dog walks, and the smell of fresh fox musk on early morning walks. Any toy that gets left behind on walks seems to be scented by the fox. I saw a very large beautiful deep red one a few days ago, crittering beside my dog teeter. Paid no attention to me watching.
Well today, I had two visits, I believe from the same one, just beside the house, outside the fence. Again, this one knew I was watching, but didn't seem to mind. Above, he is waiting on a rodent to show.

All of a sudden he springs forward. What a beautiful coat and thick tail this one has. Hunting must be good!

I stood on the deck and talked to this one, hoping it would leave as I wanted to take the dogs out. It did eventually, but seemed almost more interested in me than in leaving.

And by the way, for those who might not know, fox musk smells a lot like skunk.
