Given we've got three dogs, two of them rather hypervigilant, I can't quite believe how brazen our local fox can be. The other morning I was doing standing meditation facing the deck when I noticed the activity. First the fox made a run for the squirrels under the feeder, coming quite close to capturing one, then it turned it's attention to the errant seeds under the bird feeders. This wonderful winter coat will soon give way to molting, when the foxes start looking scrawny again.
