Totally by luck, I was able to capture this photo of a gray fox that ran through our yard stopping briefly underneath each bird feeder. I took some photos through the (dirty) windows but ran outside and hid behind our garbage can for this one. He heard my camera clicks and looked my way but didn't go running off. He kept to his inquisitive ways and meandered to the back of our lot and melted into the brush.
South American Grey Fox seen on the border between Chile and Argentina
March is the beginning of autumn in the Southern hemisphere and I am guessing this might be a youngster. He sat there in the middle of a field for over 6 mins while we enjoyed the sighting.
He has a damaged ear; The Grey fox has few natural predators. Bobcats, coyotes, great horned owls, and golden eagles may occasionally prey upon young Grey foxes
This curious fox followed and watched me from a short distance as I hiked around some hills in West Texas
Pennsylvania issues only one license plate per vehicle; it goes in the back of the car. Therefore, many residents use decorative plates on their front bumpers. The designs are infinite in variety.
An acquaintance just told me that she makes front plates, applying digital photos and designs that customers supply. I've been thinking of having her create a plate for my car, using a photo I've taken at one of the zoos.
I've only begun the brainstorming process. Which animal to select? What colors should be involved? I have to admit that this grey fox, named Louie, is a front-runner for the personality I might use. Louie is one of my favorites. Janice adores him.
What a tough -- and fun -- decision!
Captured this shot of a beautiful grey fox recently in a friend's backyard. There seem to be a pair but rarely travel together.
Grey Fox, Gray Fox, Urocyon cinereoargentus, 80-113 cm. / 31.5 - 44.5 in. Rocky, wooded brushy areas of southern North America to northern South America. I wondered why all the rabbits and ground squirrels were disappearing and one day I found this fox snoozing during the day, up in my tree! The only American canid with the ability to climb trees. The fox stays around for several months, spending the days about 5 meters up in the branches, one day it disappears and suddenly reappears the following year around the same time. Handheld.

Gypsum (male), Hunter (female) and Iffa (female) at 96 days old. Iffa has left us, but Gypsum and Hunter will hopefully be with us for another decade or more.
This Female Grey Fox takes a moment to pause, close her eyes, and if even just for a moment, a well deserved break from the tuff things in life!

Gray foxes are crepuscular, meaning that they're most active around sunrise and sunset. I guess I found Loui a little too late in the morning.
Grey foxes are crepuscular, meaning that they're most active in the hours near dawn and dusk. Romping in the snow at 11:00 a.m. was fun, but exhausting!
Unlike Loui, I am not crepuscular. It is officially winter in the northern hemisphere! I'm thankful that autumn is finally over and the daylight hours will now grow longer.
ENGLISH :
It was then that, no doubt enticed by the smell of our cheese, a gray fox, "el zorro gris" (pseudolopex griseus) attempts a timid approach ...
It's time for a Loui fix! In this image Loui is walking from his nighttime quarters, to the space where he sleeps much of the day. Gray foxes are crepuscular, meaning that they are most active around dawn and dusk.
Grey foxes are crepuscular; they're most active in the hours around sunrise and sunset. All else is nap time!
Janice and I haven't yet celebrated Christmas with family. As a chaplain, I was much too busy last week. But, we do have plans for the coming weekend. I hope to have some Christmas-related posts then!
By now, I'm confident that my Flickr friends can name Loui when they see his photo. He's also very popular among staff and volunteers at the zoo!
Gray foxes are crepuscular, meaning that they're active in the hours around dawn and dusk. So, Loui sleeps most of the day. I go in early, partly so I might find him moving around.
Louie, the grey fox, is one of the most popular animals at the Lehigh Valley Zoo. If you talk to him softly, he'll come to the fence to say hello.
Loui now has a small deck in his enclosure, made of old fire hose. As I prepare to go to work, I wonder what it would be like to spend a summer afternoon at Loui's place.
As I drove back to where I was going to sleep at night. This grey fox stopped and gave me a moment. It was getting pretty dark and I asked really nicely "please sit still for a few seconds. The foxed heard me(: It wasn't in the best composition spot but seeing the fox was a nice treat. open please to see eye detail. Disclaimer. I am not great with photoshop but I tried to get rid of a stick close to the foxes face.
It was fun to watch the snow-loving animals play on Saturday. My buddy, Loui, is usually asleep when I visit him in the middle of the day. He made an exception because his habitat was a playground.

Driving home from work, I spotted her out of the corner of my eye coming down the hillside near Mount Wanda. I immediately veered off the road and ran her down on foot. She sat down in front of a junked car and posed for several pictures before chasing after some birds in a nearby field.
This was my first time seeing a gray fox, and the image is uncropped.
Louie would never hurt anyone. If I could pet one animal at the Lehigh Valley Zoo, it would be this grey fox.
Loui loves human contact. He often comes to the fence to greet us. I'd love to give my buddy a belly rub!
Don and I took a drive this morning to see what we could find. On one of our walk-abouts I spotted a light shape semi-hidden in the brush. I slowly walked forward to get a better view. It was a Gray Fox!!! He was very relaxed and enjoying the warmth of the sun. Most of the time his eyes were completely closed. Don joined me taking numerous photos until the fox walked away into the bushes. What a privilege to observe this magnificent, healthy looking native fox.
This little fox came by our forest home, and let us talk to her as she sat quietly about 20 feet from our patio. She was waiting to come by and check if the birds we feed every day had left any sunflower seeds. It was a thrill to see her so close.
Urocyon cinereoargenteus. A quick shot of this beautiful, but frightened animal, leaving the walled 'Green Garden' on the grounds of Tryon Palace. This amazing creature is a regular inhabitant of the palace.
....... one member of the pair of resident gray foxes on the farm. They have raised at least two families of kits over the last year or so but I think this is one of the adults. I frequently see them making morning and evening foraging rounds.
It's not a silver platter, but when breakfast was delivered inside a plastic trash can lid, Loui felt special. Room service is pretty good at the zoo.
ENGLISH :
It is there, at twenty meters, beautiful like a beautiful god, wondering whether yes or no it is coming out of the undergrowth (look at it the under the magnifying glass ... really)
If you know Loui, you'll see a dramatic difference in his appearance. The grey fox at the Lehigh Valley Zoo received his annual summer haircut a few weeks ago. It'll grow back, but for now, he looks like a kit!
Janice and I had appointments yesterday, so our usual opportunity to run to the zoo was preempted. We're hoping to make a short visit there tomorrow.
A handsome Halloween visitor to our weekend digs at Cordillera Ranch, Boerne, Texas Hill Country . . .
Puerto Natales, Chile.
On the second day of our excursion we went by road into the Parque Nacional Torres del Paine.
Torres del Paine National Park is a national park encompassing mountains, glaciers, lakes, and rivers in southern Chilean Patagonia. The Cordillera del Paine is the centrepiece of the park. It lies in a transition area between the Magellanic subpolar forests and the Patagonian Steppes. The park is located 112 km (70 mi) north of Puerto Natales and 312 km (194 mi) north of Punta Arenas. The park borders Bernardo O'Higgins National Park to the west and the Los Glaciares National Park to the north in Argentine territory.
'Torres' means 'towers' in Spanish. 'Paine' means 'blue' in the native Tehuelche (Aonikenk) language. It was established as a National Park in 1959.
The South American foxes (Lycalopex), commonly called raposa in Portuguese, or zorro in Spanish, are a genus from South America of the subfamily Caninae. Despite their name, they are not true foxes, but are a unique canid genus more closely related to wolves and jackals than to true foxes; some of them resemble foxes due to convergent evolution. The South American gray fox, Lycalopex griseus, is the most common species, and is known for its large ears and a highly marketable, russet-fringed pelt.
The South American gray fox (Lycalopex griseus), also known as the Patagonian fox, the chilla or the gray zorro, is endemic to the southern part of South America.
It is a small fox-like canid. The head is reddish-brown flecked with white. The ears are large and there is a distinct black spot on the chin. The pelage is brindled, with agouti guard hairs and a short, dense, pale undercoat. The underparts are pale grey. The limbs are tawny and the thighs are crossed by a dark bar. The long, bushy tail has a dark dorsal stripe and dark tip with a paler, mottled underside.
Our little gray fox stopped by this morning, first time this year we have seen him. Looking for a turkey dinner, I think. The light was not too bright, but I got a couple of shots anyway.
Occasionally, I go to the zoo before they open the gates to the public. That's when animals tend to be more active, when they're fed their first meal of the day, and when they receive attention from their human caretakers.
Yesterday, I went straight to my grey fox friend, Loui. I found him enjoying the love and attention of one of his keepers.
Secretive, pocessing a unique nature, and characteristics of a cat, the Grey Fox can climb trees. I've been fortunate to look into the eyes of a wild Grey Fox, feeling like I could communicate with them in their world. Their senses are off the charts.. Very elusive, the story they could tell from their perspective along with a mystic that comes across crystal clear.There is a connection between their world and ours.
