Out Foxed

After returning from  a trip south,  we were recovering by sitting with a cup of coffee and gazing out at the river.

   And who shows up,  but these two great little mousers!   (Red Fox)  I was actually using my longest digital zoom to get the picture of the one standing on the sea wall across the river, but after looking at the picture,  I noticed the other head,  just behind the pile of dirt to the rear of the standing fox.    After watching a bit more,  I believe they may have a day nest,  under the boughs of a big pine tree just to the right of the photo.  As we were eating our lunch,  we watched this guy jumping around in the snow,  chasing a mouse.  (successfully).  It looked very much like he was playing with it ,  just like a cat would.   I hope they stay fat and healthy on their mousy meals!
