Tonight on my way home from the office, I was scootering down this long, down-sloping hill from the University (think Olive Way, but forested), and I saw what I thought were cat-eyes glowing in the headlight. But no -
Foxes! At least two of the tiniest foxes I've ever seen, smaller than Tatsuko, with huge ears and almost cat-skinny tails, which I thought was odd. Not scared of me on the scooter, but they got off the road nonetheless.
That brings the number of different wild-mammal types I've seen on this slope of hill to three: opossum (a huge, fat one), raccoon, and now foxes.
We saw a big, long fox with a bushy tail near our house during a snowstorm, but these two must be babies.
Okay, now off to bed where I'll be covered in three small mammals soon enough.
Grinning with delight,
Chris

No sprays yet, though. Whew.

This little white head with a huge tooth-filled beak peeked up at me as I came to a stop, hesitated for a moment, then realized it should go back into hiding. Very small, must be a baby.
