We were so excited to see this gray fox! I had never seen a fox before this, so it was thrilling to check the critter-cam videos and discover visits by this beautiful creature. In the heat of summer 2012, we put buckets of water out for whoever was thirsty. Both the white-tailed and the Axis deer took advantage of the temporary oasis and, as you can see, so did the gray fox. If you have the sound turned on, you may be able to hear it lapping up the water! Kinda makes me want to put buckets out everywhere!
How thrilling to see these lovely critters up close. We knew there was another fox that invaded the chicken yard a few years ago, but at this distance I can take a much more benign look and really appreciate what you two have done at Sisterwild, aka Sisterfarm…
