I was just out putting the camera back in place and found that Friday had a nice little bed made in the snow behind the tree where we can't see him. Not sure when that happened but it was not last night as he would have been on the videos since it was quite near the camera. I did get another passing by video but I'll save it for later.
Love how they look with their winter coat.
Still no strong fox odor so maybe this one is not trying to claim a territory, well at least for now. The smell is just short of a skunk spray.
Got my SaveAFox hat today.

So I guess I'm a real fox fan now.

Must be chickadee Monday?? Well you will have to be alert and listen at the beginning where a chickadee? lands on the camera or tripod then one flies right up to the camera! This is right by the bird feeders so perhaps they thought it might contain food? Sorry guys you have to get in line at the real feeders.
The camera has been back there a while and this was a first.
We just got dumped on with about 8 to 10 inches of snow and I was hoping to watch the Friday wade through it but no such luck. Of course he could have just avoided the camera again.

When we were going out for a walk yesterday I noticed two doves on this small feeder. Doves normally just feed on the ground getting left overs and spills. I guess with all the snow that was not so fun so they decided to land on the feeder, was really surprised at that, and even more so that two would do it.

It Friday and Friday the fox has three new videos for you to watch. The time of day varies all over the place, in this first video it is about 3:30 in the night when it comes into the yard.
The middle one is interesting, it appears that Friday had a good day hunting rabbits. In the video you can see Friday carry a rabbit into our backyard. This was at about 12:11 and reappears at 4:09 after his midnight snack.
I'm almost tempted to get a second camera but then there is the tripod, memory card and batteries...... plus I'm upgrading my computer monitor this month and home insurance comes due so I don't see that happening now.
We are at 6 degrees now and with the wind it feels like -10, all the cold weather brings out the foxes coat, really pretty this time of year.

Since you mentioned house insurance, I just got a notice from mine that they will not renew in May. They said they are reducing financial exposure. I read it as they were saying they were over extended. I have found most of my neighbors no longer carry house insurance, the insurance industry here in Florida is a mess.
No fox in this video but I found it interesting and entertaining anyway. A rabbit is sitting there and a squirrel jumps down and startles the rabbit or that is what I saw. The rabbit jumps up in the air but doesn't flee. The squirrel goes about it squirrel duties and jumps up on our compost bin. The rabbit follows and looks to see where the squirrel went. Nope not there..... then the rabbit takes the trail around in the direction the squirrel went.
