The Fox Appears Again

Mr. Fox came by the door right at 5:15 PM.  He stood on the deck so that I got a really good look at him.  He did not have a red tail like the red fox that I know.   I looked up pictures of native northern California foxes on the internet and found a picture of my fox.  It is the native grey fox- hurrah!!  We have the native species here.  He is very beautiful and very healthy so he must be getting enough food.  We must have enough land available that is not in grapes to allow for a corridor for the fox to travel.  I am very excited to know this.  What a good wildlife day!

  1. We have had two fox appear in daylight for the last week or so. They do seem unafraid. We know they are casing the chicken house. Too bad for them our chickens are in a run by time they look around.The raven pair here have been dancing on the metal roof trying to get F to come out and give them something to eat. They both are up in the tree above our compost pile every morning waiting for the daily dumping.They are so large and beautiful.
