A young fox on May 27, 2020

I missed seeing the fox I’d been seeing last summer and fall; not a single sighting all winter, and I didn’t hear the fox much either. But people had been seeing one on the grounds in May, and finally, a saw a young fox trotting across the patio. I was looking up at the trees with a scope trying to see the crows my mom spotted, when I saw the fox out of the corner of my eye. He trotted across the patio, then along the gravel between apartments to our neighbors patio, where he paused to devour what the neighbor reported as a possible chipmunk.

Since then, I’ve seen very brief glimpses of another young fox/the same fox.

ETA: At least one the young foxes frequenting the campus has been hit by a car. I’m hoping that others will thrive.
