A family of two adult and three immature grey fox live in a den in the ground in our back yard just twenty feet from our house. This is the mother.

The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) is a carnivorous mammal of the family Canidae ranging throughout most of[3] the southern half of North America from southern Canada to the northern part of South America (Venezuela and Colombia).[1] No other canid's natural range spans both North and South America and it is the only American canid that can climb trees.[4] This species and its only congener, the diminutive Channel Island fox (Urocyon littoralis), are the only living members of the genus Urocyon, which is considered to be the most basal of the living canids.[5] Though it was once the most common fox in the eastern United States, and still is found there,[3][6][7] human advancement and deforestation allowed the red fox to become more dominant. The Pacific States still have the gray fox as a dominant. Its specific epithet cinereoargenteus means 'ashen silver'.

There is three good mini movies with the trail camera where you can hear the grey fox chatting with one another. Here's one and you can check out and my others are on You Tube. Just click my video section.
I've already posted a dog and a wolf this morning. May as well make it a trio of canines! Here's Louie, one of my favorite zoo residents.
Something unique about grey foxes is that they can climb trees! The zookeepers tell me that, in personality, they have qualities of both dogs and cats. I guess the tree climbing fits right in.
Estos son los perros/zorros del P.N. Pan de Azúcar. Están tan acostumbrados a recibir donaciones de los turistas que se acercan como si fueran perros. Cabe mencionar que el parque sufre una grave plaga de perros salvajes que matan guanacos, cuyas poblaciones han caído drásticamente el último año. Para la Conaf, matar perros es un tema sensible por la imagen publica que genera, y por lo tanto no están dispuestos a arriesgarse. Me parece muy cobarde de parte de ellos.
This is one of 2 grey foxes that visit our house for handouts. He is waiting patiently for another round of hot dogs.
Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume (not included here) lacked Thomas’ touch.
Here is a cropped version of my photogenic neighbor. I am trying to get the setting sun on snow effect, as it actually was. I think I like the full version better, even tho it is off center. I have that one posted in the bad wildlife photo group.
Not quite Punxsutawney Phil, seeing his shadow, but instead a sighting of the elusive and rarely seen Grey Fox in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles. In my 50+ years exploring the local mountains, this is my first ever sighting. By the time I was able to raise my camera, and wishing at that moment I had my telephoto in the few seconds I had to capture this shot, this beautiful creature scurried on down the trail. Sorry for this highly cropped and grainy image.
Before you get too excited about that upskirt, she's not even, anatomically speaking, a girl.
Taken last night at the Grey Fox, where Rachel was having part of her birthday celebration. It was way, way too loud there. I literally had some hearing loss in my right ear afterwards. It was very unpleasant. Other than the loudness, though, it was fun times. Oh, and Leslie was upset that this woman had Baby Spice hair but a Ginger Spice dress. It's possible my girlfriend knows too much about the Spice Girls.
Having now seen both a drag show where women pretend to be men and vice versa, I'm mildly surprised by the discovery that it's much, much easier to give a dude realistic-looking fake boobs than it is to give a woman realistic-looking fake no-boobs. Also, my experience has been that it's a bitch to take photographs in venues that host drag shows. Super dark and every wall painted black both times I've gone to one.

Four days after I discovered my first fox, it came back. And it brought a friend. This is so exciting! They were in my front yard where the birdseed is. I have nuts and dried fruit mixed in so they might be eating that. My backyard has places under my deck and under my hottub where possums sleep so maybe the foxes will decide to den there. I can always hope.

Billy Miner's Legacy:
Miner's time in British Columbia propelled his celebrity there in many ways since. British Columbia restaurant chain, the Keg Steakhouse & Bar, have named drinks and their famous Billy Miner Pie after the train robber. Their early decor also showed many photos of Miner.
A mural depicting Miner's robbery near Monte Creek has been painted on the exterior south wall of Cactus Jacks Saloon & Dance Hall located in the building at the corner of 5th Avenue & Lansdowne Street in Kamloops, British Columbia.
MAPLE RIDGE, British Columbia features the Billy Miner Pub which is located in historic Port Haney on the bank of the Fraser River. The pub is located in the original Bank Of Montreal building built in the early 1900s.
It has been speculated that Miner left a hidden cache of loot in the forests south of Silverdale after the first robbery and local historians believe he used these monies to fund his escape, while others surmise that today there is still hidden loot to be found there.
Miner is buried in Milledgeville, Georgia. Miner escaped in death as well. It was discovered several years ago his headstone was in the wrong location, name spelled wrong, and with the wrong year of his death. A new headstone was put in the correct spot and spelled correctly. The old one was kept where it was.
Mount Miner near Princeton, formerly Bald Mountain or Baldy, was renamed in Bill Miner's honor in response to a motion by the Princeton Board of Trade in 1952.
Miner had lived on the ranch owned by Jack Budd, which was on the other side of this mountain from Princeton, while planning the robbery at Duck's.
Tin Whistle Brewing Co. a microbrewery from Penticton B.C. launched a Red Ale titled "Hands Up!" as a commemoration to Miner.

Today, I discovered that they'd made several of my photos into magnets and lapel pins at Lehigh Valley Zoo. I was able to acquire one for myself. This is my buddy, Loui.
The South American grey fox (Lycalopex griseus), also known as the Patagonian fox, the chilla or the gray zorro, is a species of Lycalopex, the "false" foxes. It is endemic to the southern part of South America.
The South American grey fox is found in the Southern Cone of South America, particularly in Argentina and Chile. Its range comprises a stripe, both sides of the Andes Mountain Range between parallels 17ºS (northernmost Chile) and 54ºS (Tierra del Fuego).
In Argentina, this species inhabits the western semiarid region of the country, from the Andean spurs (ca. 69ºW) to meridian 66ºW. South from the Río Grande, the distribution of the fox widens reaching the Atlantic coast. In Chile, it is present throughout the country. The South American grey fox was introduced to the Falkland Islands in the late 1920s early 1930s and is still present in quite large numbers on Beaver and Weddell Islands plus several smaller islands.
The South American grey fox occurs in a variety of habitats, from the warm, arid scrublands of the Argentine uplands and the cold, arid Patagonian steppe to the forests of southernmost Chile.
The diet varies in different parts of its range and at different times of year. It consists mainly of mammals, birds, arthropods, bird eggs, reptiles, fruit and carrion. The main prey items seem to be small mammals, especially rodents.

My favorite character at the zoo is Loui, the gray fox. Loui is in advanced years, and lately, his health has declined. At this point, they are keeping him comfortable. Sometime soon, I will received the news that they have humanely euthanized him.
In life and in death, animals in human care at AZA zoos (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) benefit from good quality.
