Fox

This critter stumbled into our yard yesterday - a baby fox. What an opportunity! Before returning him safely to his natural wooded environment we took advantage of the moment. I put on the gloves and coat, and got some good pics with the help of GCreely.

Lately I have been trying to explain to the girls why God made some animals predators. We frequently go to Hawk Mountain to observe migrating raptors. In the process I have tried to explain what foxes are. This was a great opportunity to show Kaitlyn a real predatory canine up close and personal.

Don't worry, this little guy couldn't hurt fly yet. Won't be long though, he'll be out there doing his thing - keeping our groundhog population down!
