As I stood at the kitchen sink rinsing out my cereal bowl, I was looking out of the window into our back yard. Low and behold outside our fence came trotting a beautiful Red Fox!!! I haven't seen one in probably 14 years and here it was right behind my house. I throw out my leftovers for the possums and ***** but I think this fox has probably been helping it's self too!!! This was so exciting to me. I love nature!!!!!! This started my day out with a big smile, work was good, what a day!!!!

Cool! They are beautiful animals for sure. Keep your camera near by and maybe you can get some pics to post!

They are fun to see. we get a peek at one a couple times a year. We know they are there, but they don't come out of the prairie grass/wetland very often. They have plenty of cover and prey in there.

PS: We see them less since HK has been on the scene.

Cool...and as I glanced out my patio door this morning, there was Mr. Squirrel hanging from the corn feeder. bouncing up and down...LOL...god forbid if he let go of the corn.

We have fox and coyote in the woods behind our house. Unfortunately, a lot of them have mange and don't look so hot.

There was one hanging around the field where our daughter's peewee soccer game was held this past weekend. I think the 8AM start-time roused her from her bed.

I used to have a fox who I saw daily for about 2 years on my way to work. I mean, rain, shine, snow, hail, always the same time, same place, we crossed paths.

One day I came up over the crest of the hill where we would see each other every day, and there he was sitting in the middle of the road. I mean sitting smack in the middle - prior to this, he'd be in the field about 10 feet of the road, but always there.

I slowed to a stop RIGHT BESIDE him, rolled down the window and said "hey buddy - you gotta get yourself off the pavement,you're gonna get killed" We sat looking at each other for probably 10 - 15 seconds, he got up, trotted off, and when he got to the fence line, looked back as if to say "See ya!".

No word of a lie, that actually happened. That was the last time I saw my fox too. I figure he was waiting for me that day to do just what he did - to tell me so long, he was moving onward and outwards.

I miss my little Renard. He was quite a "companion" for 2 years.

We have a lot of them along the creeks and salt marshes around town. I Travel about two miles on a county road to get from the Highway 77 By-pass to highway 2 going and coming to work, I see them quite often.

that's a neat story. I never seen real wildlife except for deer once in a while, what we city folk miss.
