INSTAGRAM INSPIRATION

This fox was born last spring and we’ve watched

This fox was born last spring and we’ve watched him grow into a self sufficient young fox. At a little over a year old he’s still very lean.

In the first photo he’s being fussed at by crows. This year the crows made half a dozen nests in our trees and chased away anything that came within a couple hundred yards. It was a daily occurrence to see a hawk fly in close, only to have 2 or 3 crows chase it off with loud squawks. The hawks were mostly just irritated but they did retreat.

While this fox’s 3 siblings have moved on, this one has stayed around and we see him almost every day. He’s mostly black; his parents were a red fox and a gray fox.

The crow’s nests are all empty now. Happily this means there are more hawks around and the fox (and our cat) can have a little peace and quiet.

Our son gets credit for the photo of the fox pouncing. #fox
