Red Fox on Lake Nelson

 

 

Mike was up early this morning and noticed a fox running across the frozen lake. It stopped for a while to get its photo taken and then ran off into the wooded area by the dam. A couple weeks ago when the lake first froze, Chris thought she saw a fox go by in the same direction, but she didn't jump off the treadmill to get the binoculars to confirm it. (Mike said he believed her then, but now he really believers her!)

Red Fox at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge

 

 

 

 

We know it's supposed to be a bird blog, but sometimes when out birding we run into other wildlife that we can't resist photographing. This morning one of the first sightings we made at Forsythe was this adorable red fox. We were so close it was actually difficult to get a picture of this whole body. He was playing or trying to pounce on something for quite a while and didn't seem to mind us watching, so we backed off a little and got some more shots.
