Gray fox in the garden

Last Sunday morning at 6am, I had the good fortune to receive a visit from an adult gray fox.

Working in the garden, I looked up to see a fox looking back at me. After the initial startle, I started to analyze why she was there. I didn’t react and was surprised to see her relaxed posture and maneuvers throughout the garden. I began to realize she knew the garden and the lay of the land.

This vixen knew all the gaps in gates and fences. She growled in my direction, suggesting some portion of this garden was her domain. She wanted me to know I was trespassing. Her beautiful coat suggested good health and an abundance of food.
