This fox looks like it has Sarcoptic Mange. It can be fatal to the fox, and it can also be transmitted to other animals. Lets hope he gets through it. I got the image fairly late in the evening as the light fell off. It's also a rather heavy crop. Another image can be seen in the comments (clickable).
Thanks for looking.
We were walking in the area with the foxes for over an hour and a half and they became very relaxed and would even lie down and nap...not concerned with our presence at all. I believe this is the adult female of the group.
Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
This cute fox was staring at me near one of the Park entryways and didn't move until a car approached.
Many people consider urban foxes to be a nuisance, knocking over garbage bins and making a mess. This is a misconception however. It rarely happens, and studies show that when it does, it is often a cat or dog causing the mess. Foxes are also blamed for missing pets. While it is uncommon for a fox to go after a dog or cat, in the spring time when they have to feed their pups, a pet rabbit may just be the perfect meal. It is wise to keep pets inside. Urban foxes can cause a mess to your yard by leaving their feces as a scent mark. They can also dig many holes - practice for digging burrows - and they can eat and trample over flowers and vegetables.
Hunting for food....
In the wild, foxes can live for up to 10 years, but most foxes only live for 2 to 3 years due to hunting, road accidents and diseases. Foxes are generally smaller than other members of the family Canidae such as wolves, jackals, and domestic dogs. Reynards(male foxes) weigh on average, 5.9 kilograms (13 lb) and vixens (female foxes) weigh less, at around 5.2 kilograms (11.5 lb).
Along the north coastal highway in PEI, I came across this kit who was more interested in me than in his mother.
I love those "flat on my belly "shots.
Getting at the eye level of the animal does create great shots.

A big thank you to the people who view or comment on my photos and also add them as a favourite.
This fox showed up yesterday eve right at the edge of woods where our rabbit starts out most evenings - coincidence?
This picture was taken near Kent Gardens Park, McLean, VA through the kitchen window on a rainy day.
Rencontre fortuite, regard inquisiteur, fuite. Quelle chance !
Chance encounter. Moment of surprise before fleeing.
Parc nature des Îles de Boucherville
A very relaxed dog fox came to investigate the activity of a few fox cubs nearby. After a while he lay on the grass completely comfortable with me being there.

Mum became a little more trusting and unintentionally I am sure struck a few poses that I have tried to capture.
We had begun to entertain the thought that we would blank today, not an altogether unfamiliar situation.
We had staked out possible fox locations and sat like toby jugs from 9.45 until 4.30 with only two fleeting sightings of foxes.
We had gather and chopped up road kill as possible bait which we spread around in places that we hoped would give the best photo opportunities. And so we sat a bit longer and waited in the hope of a few shots as by this time we were getting rather tired.
I so wanted to try and get a shot of her coming out of tall grass and the bait we laid out clearly had caught her attention as she obligingly popped her head out. My a few rapid clicks
This is what I managed with a combination of 100 x 400 and the 300 lens.
