Greenwood Cemetery Fox

Volunteer day in preparation for the upcoming Memorial Day event at Greenwood Cemetery yielded a pleasant surprise.

I drove the oldest in while making a swing around the left curve to see if we could find any fox sightings as the den is located there. No luck.

We drove on and circled the area where we would soon straighten headstones to make the remembrance ceremonies more visually pleasing. During the last drive around the edge of the cemetery, we spotted the animal we were after earlier.

It stayed for a bit to watch us. Apparently, we were in its line of travel and instead of going around us it decided to wait for us to move on.

We did. It did.

Beautiful animal.

Red Fox Sighting

Heading home after dropping off the boys at school. My brain told me to go ahead and make a detour over to the Greenwood Cemetery to see if the Bald Eagles were in a good position for a photograph but, more importantly, to see if I could spot the reported Red Fox family was visible.

As I entered the main gates there was an adult fox right in front of me! It quickly headed toward the lake as I approached only giving me a few seconds to snap this shot as I slowed the car but aimed the camera while still moving.

Hope it wasn't you that took out the Killdeer nest...
