A fox in the yard

January 23, 2011 Elizabeth

Steve was going to let the dogs out the back door today, but noticed that all of the squirrels took off at the same time.  He looked around to see if he could see a hawk or something but didn’t notice anything. He put the dogs on their tie outs and they both immediately started barking and carrying on.  That is when we spotted the fox.  I never could get a great picture of him, he stayed on the other side of a pile of brush.  Here is the best one that I had.  This was the closest we’ve seen a fox.  We’ve seen a pair down the road about 2 miles before though.
