Little Red Fox Napping - Check Out Her Tongue :-)
I was kneeling about 15-20 feet away from her taking as many shots as I could and she just laid her head down and dozed off. So, very cool! So, wonderful when a wild animal trusts you that much. She often has her tongue sticking out just a bit. That and she licks her nose on a regular basis. I think that little tongue sticking out is pretty cute. The first time I got a shot of her doing it, I was thinking that was luck. Now, I notice that it shows up in a lot of my shots.
The river has finally started to thaw enough for her to get to the water. She was eating a lot of snow. She did scare me on this day, as the little open area (size of a dinner plate) that she was drinking at collapsed, as she was returning to it later that morning. An area about 5 feet across just dropped. She is quick on her feet and jumped back in time. My first thought was, that I was glad she was okay and that I didn't have to go and try to save her. That might not have worked too good. She trusts me, but, maybe not that much.
I saw 4 fox on this day, all in one spot and all at the same time. There was a lot of vocalizing going on and one pretty aggressive fight between her and another fox. The males are still hanging around.
It is snowing today, so, will be staying home.
I did visit her 6 days in a row this last week.
She is starting to shed her winter coat.
Stay Safe out there.
Remember: "This Too Shall Pass!"
