When I first saw this fox this morning, she was sitting in the yard right below an upstairs window. By the time I grabbed the camera, she had headed into the woods. The photo was taken from the upstairs window. Two summers ago, a fox raised two pups at the edge of the woods right behind the house. I hope she’s back. They never harmed the chickens. We had a deal.
Foxes are good. They keep the small animal population down. And they are beautiful. And, did I mention, they keep the varmint population down. Just like the hawks, which also are beautiful.
