Two kit foxes were running after their mom across the patio
very early this morning ..She took them home..They were babies
and so cute.

If the Owl Calls Again
 
  at dusk
from the island in the river,
and it's not too cold,

I'll wait for the moon
to rise,
then take wing and glide
to meet him.

We will not speak,
but hooded against the frost
soar above
the alder flats, searching
with tawny eyes.

And then we'll sit
in the shadowy spruce
and pick the bones
of careless mice,

while the long moon drifts
toward Asia
and the river mutters
in its icy bed.

And when the morning climbs
the limbs
we'll part without a sound,

fulfilled, floating
homeward as
the cold world awakens.

John Haines

Isn’t that poem lovely. And to find a picture to go so well with it was pure happiness.

You’re especially fortunate with the foxes, their being so shy and all. Maybe they see you as foxy.

Thank you for the tunes!

Off and on, among other things like housework, I'm enjoying the music you're posting.

Unlike the raccoons, the foxes are skittish and more easily spooked..They live down in the ravine and are around now and then..to check out the burdseed or get a drink..I was so thrilled to see kits..First time ever.

That is a treat for sure, I don’t think I’ve ever seen baby fox, plenty of adult red, and gray. Getting up early does have rewards!
