This is our backyard. During the afternoon of July 2 my son snapped this picture of what is now referred to as our neighborhood fox on his cell phone and sent it to me (so it may be a little grainy). I had seen it myself the day before around 3:30 p.m. but I was not quick enough with my camera. It's kind of cool, but I'm fearing for the chipmunks! I'm thinking the fox would make a quick snack of them. Now, he/she can have as many groundhogs as they would like!
They are quite elegant animals, aren't they. I love to see them in the wild. C's parents had one in their garden for a while earlier this year, and were sorry when she disappeared. But there's a bit of controversy at the moment over a case in the UK where it was claimed that a fox got into the upstairs bedroom in a house and attacked two small children. I'd never heard of anything like that before.
