*Gray Fox*


I have been enjoying a momma gray fox and her youngsters
coming onto the patio..My first look at the babies was when they
were like the picture below..Lately I have seen the youngsters..
3 of them looking like miniatures of their mom..Mom loves
peanuts..All enjoy drinking out of the birdbath saucer.




Have A Wonderful Day Everyone.

I love critters but rabies has gotten so bad around here we’re scared to hardly look at anything, much less feed it.

Oh, Meg - that fox is beautiful! How sweet the picture of the little ones.

Speaking of Gray Foxes or Silver ones either), this one is my favorite:   :)

How special that you have a fox family visiting your patio!

My cousin, up near Sacramento, had a fox family living under their deck this spring. They went out and got a special camera and rigged it up so they could capture photos when the kits ventured out at night. This is one of the ones they e-mailed to me. Don't know if this is the mama or one of the kits drinking out of the dog's water dish.

I marvel over the amount of wildlife you have visiting your patio, MEG. It must feel like a safe, welcoming place to them. As I've said before, our wildlife here is pretty limited to gophers and fruit rats. No the kind of wildlife I want visiting my yard. LOL.

How precious, MEG, that you have watched this family develop and grow. Fox babies are so cute!! I would never have imagined that foxes like peanuts...haha.
