Back porch visitor: I thought foxes were nocturnal but this guy was hungry and came in broad daylight to eat a bowl of cat food!
These two little fox kits have been hanging out on the back side of the arena where my friend has horses. A little too young to know they should fear people, or a little too tame? Darned cute in any case. I wish them luck; I don't think it's a particularly safe "neighborhood" for foxes.
I have never seen a fox in the wild & didn't think we had them in my neighborhood, no woods nearby. I have an outdoor camera that I use to see what shows up in my front yard overnight. I have birdfeeders & several water features there. I get lots of cats, possums and the occasional raccoon. At 02:43 am this morning, I got my first fox. I checked with some trail cam experts that I knew have had foxes to be sure. No cat has a tail like that and no coyote is that small. So cool. Now if I can just get a photo of one in daylight.

Lonquimay es un pueblo y comuna de Chile, en la Provincia de Malleco, Región de la Araucanía. Se ubica 167 kms al noreste de la ciudad de Temuco y a 493 kms al norte de Puerto Varas. Es la comuna mas grande de la Región de la Araucania (IX región) con una extensión de 3.914 kms cuadrados. Mas del 40% de la población de la zona es indígena de origen Pehuenche, que viven fundamentalmente de la ganadería, explotación de la madera y del turismo.
Esta es una zona cordillerana y fronteriza, su geografía corresponde a la de un extenso valle en las alturas de la cordillera de los Andes con presencia de grandes volcanes como el Lonquimay (2.865 msn), y lagunas como Galletué e Icalma en las que nace el río Biobío. Al oriente limita con las elevaciones de la Cordillera de los Andes, límite internacional con la Argentina. Al topar los vientos húmedos provenientes del Pacífico con los cordones occidentales (oeste) dejan abundantes precipitaciones, lo que da origen a extensos bosques con gran presencia de Araucarias y especies propias del bosque caducifolio como Ñirres y Lengas, los que desaparecen hacia el este dejando extensas pampas de vegetación baja. Las características particulares del clima en esta zona, hace posible encontrar aquí ciertas especies o subespecies de animales y plantas de la Patagonia, algunas de ellas sólo presentes aquí en territorio chileno, mientras que otras vuelven a reaparecer en las pampas orientales de las regiones de Aysén y Magallanes. El clima se caracteriza porque en algunos inviernos la nieve puede alcanzar hasta 3 metros, y en verano las temperaturas son más favorables, presentándose una media estival de aproximadamente 15 °C. Como localidad fronteriza cuenta con dos importantes pasos internacionales: Pino Hachado e Icalma, siendo el primero de ellos parte del futuro Corredor Bioceánico Trasandino.
La zona atrae a gran cantidad de turistas durante todo el año, por sus bellos paisajes, volcanes, lagos y lagunas. Además de las bellezas de la Cuesta Las Raices y del ex tunel ferroviario, alguna vez el mas extenso del mundo con mas 4 kms de largo, por donde hoy pasa la carretera internacional. En mi opinión personal, quizás las dos estaciones mas bellas para visitar esta zona sean el otoño cuyos colores son realmente fascinantes y en invierno con paisajes nevados únicos. La apertura de un exclusivo resort de montaña en la laderas del volcán Lonquimay Corralco, a comenzado a atraer también a los amantes del ski buscando nuevos y excitantes lugares para la practica del deporte.

Lonquimay is a town and commune of Chile, in the Province of Malleco, Araucanía Region. It is located 167 kms northeast of the city of Temuco and 493 kms north of Puerto Varas. It is the largest commune in the Region of Araucania (IX region) with an extension of 3,914 square kilometers. More than 40% of the population of the area is indigenous Pehuenche, who live mainly from livestock, timber and tourism.
This is a cordilleran and border zone, its geography corresponds to that of an extensive valley in the heights of the Andes mountain range with the presence of large volcanoes such as the Lonquimay (2,865 masl), and lagoons such as Galletué and Icalma where the Biobío river born. To the east it limits with the elevations of the Mountain range of the Andes, international limit with Argentina. When encountering the humid winds coming from the Pacific with the western cords leave abundant rainfall, which gives rise to extensive forests with a large presence of Araucarias and species typical of the deciduous forest such as Ñirres and Lengas, which disappear to the east leaving extensive pampas of low vegetation. The particular characteristics of the climate in this area, make it possible to find here certain species or subspecies of animals and plants of Patagonia, some of them only present here in Chilean territory, while others reappear in the eastern pampas of the regions of Aysén and Magellan. The climate is characterized because in some winters the snow can reach up to 3 meters, and in summer the temperatures are more favorable, presenting a summer average of approximately 15 ° C. As a border town, it has two important international steps: Pino Hachado and Icalma, the first of which is part of the future Trans-Andean Bioceanic Corridor.
The area attracts large numbers of tourists throughout the year, for its beautiful landscapes, volcanoes, lakes and lagoons. In addition to the beauties of the Cuesta Las Raices and the former railway tunnel, once the most extensive in the world with more than 4 km long, where today passes the international highway. In my personal opinion, perhaps the two most beautiful seasons to visit this area are the autumn whose colors are really fascinating and in winter with unique snowy landscapes. The opening of an exclusive mountain resort Corralco,on the slopes of the Lonquimay volcano, has also begun to attract ski lovers looking for new and exciting places to practice sport.
Loui shows off his eyes. Gray foxes have retractable claws and vertical pupils, like cats. They can also climb trees.
This gray fox wasn't put off by his encounter with me as he was back for seconds only a few minutes later.
I haven't done a Sunday Selfie yet, but Louie agreed to stand in for me while you're waiting. He's singing fox songs.
at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, grey foxes are a "species at risk". This one paused to look at the camera with some curiosity before sauntering into the bush.
I post portraits of Louie, the grey fox, more frequently than most other animals. But, Louie is cool. If I were given the opportunity to go into an enclosure and pet any animal, it would be a toss-up between Louie and Titan, the raccoon.
This is his mate! Don't they make a striking couple? I was talking to a lady who said she has been watching this family for a few years, otherwise I wouldn't have known which was the male and which was the female.
I only had one shot at this critter, and was pleased that it worked out ok. Observed at Point Reyes National Seashore.
The hum of the turbines, the explosive bursts from the power tools, and loud cracks of the repairs echo eerily through the cavern. The men like that. It drowns out the strange, unearthly screeches they hear from the tunnels.
There's something down those tunnels. Not the alien forces that won the war above ground, but something else not of this world. Men have disappeared. They've barred the tunnel entrances though they know that seals them inside the cavern.
These fighting men have seen much in their time, and they are not giving up... but they are afraid.
Loui, my favorite resident of Lehigh Valley Zoo, is usually asleep when i find him. He's good-looking, either way.
I've never posted this picture of these young grey foxes until now, however, it's a part of an amazing morning that I will never forget.

First fox of 2023 & only the 3rd time ever since I installed a camera. Even with just night vision it looks beautiful & healthy. So eager to see and photograph one in the daylight someday.

This picture was captured through a small wire mesh, so I had to use the widest lens opening to defuse the mesh as much as possible and then increase the image contrast in post-processing to diminish as much as possible the mesh's appearance in the final image. How well this technique works depends very much on the color and brightness of the mesh and how far the subject, and to a lesser extent, how far the front of the lens is away from the mesh.
Loui expresses the feelings of many people as they head for work today. Janice and i are moving on Thursday, so I'm reminded of the deadline. We're tired, but on schedule!
The fox was wandering along the edge of the lake, hunting for food beneath the snow when something caught his eye and he looked up suddenly with snow still on his nose. I was about 20 metres away but had time to switch to a telephoto lens and take the photo. He's a South American Grey (Gray) Fox, apparently.

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.
Meanwhile, outside the command building.
Gung Ho: Hold on there, Fluffy Squirrel! Where do you think you're headed!
Grey Fox: It's Grey Fox! I was going to see if I could assist General Flagg with the prisoner. I have... experience in unique interrogation techniques that you most likely have not encountered.
Gung Ho: One, you ain't going in that command center. Two, you ain't going in that command center.
Grey Fox: You imbecile, I-
Gung Ho: Three, I'm about to 'interrogate' that jaw. It looks too pretty, too fine... it'll do busted up.
Grey Fox: ...
I was out looking for damselflies in a section of creek near Palo Alto Baylands when what I took for a coyote appeared, gave me a calm lookover, then disappeared. Only later did I learn from the 'net that I was near where a well-studied group of grey foxes (urocyon cinereoargenteus) den. This is the best photo I got before the fox left.
Grey foxes are canids that (unlike the more common red foxes) are native to California and indeed to a large swath of the Americas.

Sadly, I learned early in 2017 that the entire Silicon Valley group had perished from canine distemper.

Finally, one of the kits came out long enough for me to grab a quick shot of it. So exciting, Jetta was with me and the baby was very interested in her : ) They are getting braver, so I hope to get more shots of them. Let me know when you get bored seeing them and I will switch back to horses..LOL
One of the many visitors to our water tank. There are 2 of them and they take turns coming to drink which leads me to think they have kits to protect. It's so much fun to watch them.
My schedule is different than most people's. Sundays tend to be intense, so Monday comes as a bit of a relief. It's back-to-the-office day. Back to administrative work. Time to fill in my secretary on what she's missed since I saw her last.
I also consider Monday to be my "hump day." Since I work a six-day week, I'm half-way through at the end of the day on Monday.
Here is my friend, Louie. I think he has a better system. Happy Monday, Flickr friends!
A view of the NHS Terminal at the Churchill dock.
On its berths are the Happy Dynamic (IMO 9551973), Grey Fox (IMO 9151905) and the small blue hulled "Eems Sprinter" (IMO 9421611) all the way in the back, nearly hidden by the larger vessels.
Freight cars are also being pushed up the terminal by NMBS locomotive nr 7721
In the back is the now deserted PSA Terminal where the old container cranes are in the proces of being scrapped.
Reworked an old photo of a grey fox visiting backyard during daylight. Foxes are regular nighttime visitors to the garden, but rarely seen during daytime. Backyard, Cary, North Carolina
Love waking up to discover a video like this. At 11:30 last night I had 2 foxes in my yard again. I had to watch it twice, the first time to see the fox at the bottom of the screen as it disappears, then returns back as though to ask the 2nd fox what was taking it so long. 2nd view was to watch the fox in the top of the screen I'd missed at first. It is breeding season right now for gray foxes. If this pair makes my yard a regular stop (due to nuts and dried fruit being part of my birdseed mix) I might win the lottery and get a glimpse of kits this Spring.
