She crossed the yard several times as she went about her business, and she was hunting voles in the weeds. I couldn&#8217;t change lenses on the camera fast enough to catch her hunting voles, but it was fun to watch. She&#8217;d sit on her haunches, very still, and watch. Then she&#8217;d leap in a very high, graceful arc and come down with her jaws and front paws ready to make a catch. Unfortunately she didn&#8217;t get a vole while I was watching.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Fox may be getting more and more comfortable being in the yard during daylight. I hope so. She makes a nice dog substitute. And I&#8217;m not absolutely sure that this is Mrs. Fox. It could be one of the pups she raised this year. These are the clearest photos I&#8217;ve been able to get so far, so I&#8217;m hoping the markings will help me distinguish one fox from another.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mrs-fox-2\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3549\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mrs-fox-3\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3549\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/acornabbey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/mrs-fox-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mrs-fox-4\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3549\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click on photos for larger version I saw quite a lot of Mrs. Fox today.
