Observations by suzh

Fox crossed Dean Ave, into yard, went through to,backyard, marked his territory under my bird feeders and then headed into the Monona Golf Course through a hole in the neighbor’s fence. He looks pretty healthy.

Foxy ran through my yard, scared by the noise of a golf cart, and ran through the neighbor's yards to the back of the Monona Golf course. This is the second daytime sighting by me or a neighbor this week.

Fox was hunting in our yard and in neighbor's yard between the houses before trotting away toward the golf course. Observed from inside house. This fox has lighter patches of fur on it's left shoulder area and side.

From my back sunroom, I observed a young fox coming through our yard It climbed our tree to try to get squirrels. He was 5 ft up a large cut section of a silver maple. Climbed around the trunks and gave up. He literally skipped away, doing the foxy hop. It might be one of the 4 kits born in this hood this spring.

This was a very healthy looking fox. A bit late to see it, as it was pretty light by then. Last evening I looked for the den on the Monona Golf Course, having heard very early morning yipping earlier in the week. No luck. But I did see my first of year Thrasher!

Foxy wandered through the yard close to the house, hunting for breakfast. S/he checked out where the rabbits nest, didnt find anyone, and went on his/ her way. I was inside, and it passed just below the window where I was watching.

I observed a fox eating dropped seed under a bird feeder in my back yard. When it heard cars on the street, it would run for more cover, but would come back again. As I was watching with my binocs, another fox came up to the first one, bowing and tail wagging, and layed down under the first fox. The first fox groomed the second. It may have mounted it, but it was too dark to be sure. The first fox kept standing over the prone fox and grooming it. Then both foxes got up and, facing each other, they went up on hind legs and put their front paws on each other's shoulders, like a hug. Then they went off, each in its own direction. The first fox continued feeding and the second one disappeared onto the golf course. This neighboorhood is filled with tracks. So cool!
